Preakness - Where are the opportunists?

[Uncle Buck]

The intrigue builds! Tricky and his wonder horse against the grizzled and opportunistic and sometimes cranky TG board members:-)

I\'m rooting (not betting for or against) for Brownie to bring home the marbles and win it all this Spring. I really hope the horse doesn\'t hurt himself or if he does, that he\'s smart enough to pull himself up before something catastrophic happens. If he goes down, it\'s gonna get real ugly in a big hurry.

Good luck Big Brown! I hope you continue to teach Jimbo a lesson! LOL

Is Vegas making a line on the JIMBO-MIFF I
Looking forward to the sequels as well

I don\'t think they are all equal.

I will be using Riley Tucker, Kentucky Bear, Giant Moon and Hey Byrn with our favorite and without him.  

I think Riley Tucker has a big shot to hit the board at 50-1.

I\'m rooting for BB also; I just can\'t take a stand against a horse who was 8 lengths better than the colts. Granted the 2 weeks is a concern, but he may be Curlin-like in that he is lightly-raced, fires every time, and may not have touched the bottom of his tank yet. The crop is average, and it will be interesting to see if Casino Drive ( who beat leftovers in the PP!) bounces \"second race off the plane\" and we can FINALLY have a TC winner the sport so desperately needs!

interesting draw. after the disastrous start last, I\'m assuming Gayego will shoot from post 12. Giant Moon has some speed, and he might go as well from post 11; same for Riley Tucker from post 10. Tres will go from post 2, and Kent will want to be forwardly placed with BB. I\'m not expecting a suicidal pace here, but you could have five or six runners looking for position up front. Racecar Rhapsody might get a very nice stalking trip from the 6 hole, maybe 2w 1st turn. RR has the \'5\' top going 1 1/6 at CD last year, and he looked like he wanted more distance. toss the Delta race on short rest, and I can excuse the TP run over the dead rail. broke through last over the Kee poly with a solid late run. looking for a new top here (32% T-P), something in the \'1\' to \'2\' range, which, with the right trip, could put him close at the ml of 30-1.

RR the key.

Racecar closed fast and galloped out past Riley Tucker and Behindatthebar like he wanted more real estate.I have him coming from farther back than 6th,but agree he\'s the key.Most of these on fumes by mid stretch.

Dominguez on Giant Moon is the only rider with an outside post that might be able to figure out how to save some ground.See his ride on Bluegrass Cat in the 2006 Derby.If he works out a trip he could suck up into the exotics.

I don\'t particular care if Big Brown wins the Triple Crown or not.. Because all indications say he\'s heading for an early rich retirement.

A triple crown winner that retires at 3 years old?  No good for racing.
