Race 5 MSW

[T Severini]

You never know in these heats.

The Silver Vet has the favorite coming in off a 2YO race a Year ago. Privman. He ran with his head to the right and I hate that. Some can get away with it. He is a 625K Justify.  He enters off a bullet at SA. Trained on the Plane.

Not a lot in the race. Ennis Town, 2nd ML, enters off some trouble, changes and nice work pattern. Lasix indicated. (Same for Privman).

My two horses are also figured by the ML odds. Kind of like the disqualified winner to get a piece. Step up, but relative.

Gung Ho is my exotic key horse.  Gung Ho!!!

[Roman]

Exacta paid over $200 bones, with Privman running second at 1/5.

I hope you had it Roman.

I was dabbling. I needed the DQ\'d horse to hold onto second or Gung Ho to respond. He didn\'t.

Spent a misguided youth at the Florida OBS sales. Caught a few winners that mattered, but TFigs are a better tool. Which brings me to Preakness Day 3rd Race MSW 8.5 furlongs:

The Silver Vet has a 775K yearling purchase named Varney in this race. (Yesterday it was \"Privman\".) FFS... how is it that the owners, in this case \"Talia Racing\" and \"Spendthrift Farm\" engage with Bobby the Needle at this juncture?  How??? Now, it\'s clear folks bet Mr. 30 percent plus winner on stats. We know that, but Tony plays it differently.  He hates Bobby the Needle. It\'s visceral... Medina Spirit anyone? Tony will even take it on the chin multiple times to land one good shot on Bobby the Needle. (If I ever see him in the paddock again, security will escort me out for calling the truth upon him to his face.)... and I swear I will.

Now theres not a lot in this race. But if Bobby the Needle hasn\'t broken through with all the witchcraft...All the Handy Works (All of them)...All the treatment in three starts to break maiden, then Bobby has been wasting his suckers 3/4 million again and again and again and again. Like Privman running with his head to the right. (Nice selection Needle)

So... Theres not a lot in this race and the Needle is really scraping bottom here. And... Pletcher\'s horse is trying to board the same lifeboat.

So I\'m gonna take a little flyer against again on what I know from a wasted youth.

8th Race - I\'m rusty reading conditions when Lasix is part of the entry condition.
