What do you think of Stradivari opening today at 1-2 as a result of the owners of Pimlico placing an $80000 win bet OK n him  at Laurel yesterday? What do they know?
And why not wait until later later today to place their bet?
Unless they wouldn't be allowed to?
I'm sure race people are talking.

Ok, here are the results of the second leg and the combined total (Check your own scores please):

Preakness Results
4 Ever= 50 minus 30 plus 20 = 40
Whales= 0 minus 30 plus 20 = -10
Vette= 0 minus 30 minus 20 = -50 and Disqualified from further competition
Cid= 0 plus 30 minus 20 = 10
Terry= 0 plus 30 minus 20 = 10
Jolly= 0 plus 30 minus 20 = 10

Congratulations to 4ever for picking the winner of the Race! Nice job everyone. Anyone can still win the Triple Crown.

I see that Stradivari is a 5-1 favorite at this time. Don't forget to get your picks in by noon Saturday.

So the picks are locked and I like the strategy of leading without a pick in the Belmont. Good luck and I'll unlock this thread and untack it.

I picked in consideration of rain. Of course I was disqualified. As is anyone past the Deadline.

I put the results up on the Moderator Board for them to validate the results of the contest. I'll post the results when I get their OK.

Looks good.

although, next year you should require a selection for each race.
