I accidentally listed my horses in backward order. I submitted Gun Runner, Exaggerator, and Nyquist in that order and meant it the other way around...lol

what a great ride Nyquist got from his jockey....i had doubts about him getting the distance but he handled the distance well.....go Giants!!!!!

You should have boxed it. Or did I forget to mention that?

[Cid in Dupont]

Terry, that was why I couldn't put him in the win.  I didn't think he could handle the distance.  I won't make that mistake again.

Can't wait for the next 2 legs.

When is the next race?

When is the field set?

[terrymeisner]

the Preakess goes on May 21.....a maximum field of 14 horses to go 1 3/16 miles

the field isn't finalized yet but a lot of the derby horses are going to try again by the looks of the early entry list

[terrymeisner]

the Preakness field is now set with 11 horses going to post.....Nyquist on top of Exaggerator looks like the bet .....go Giants!!!!!

[babywhales]

Win : Nyquist
Place : Stradivari
Show : Exaggerator

[Ed Vette]

Win- Nyquist
Place- Stradivari
Show- Uncle Lino

[terrymeisner]

Stradivari is a nice horse but he is taking a HUGE jump in class.....his highest level of racing is a $62K allowance race and he is moving up to a Grade 1 stakes.....in baseball terms that would be like moving up to the majors from A ball

[Ed Vette]

Still waiting for 4 other picks by noon today. Anyone can put their picks in but only the members who put in their Derby picks qualify for the Triple Crown Contest. 

[Cid in Dupont]

1st - Nyquist
2nd - Exaggerator
3rd - Stradivari

Pure chalk...I know, but I didn't like any of the other horses.  I don't even like Stradivari that much, but nothing else looked good to me.

it's raining in Baltimore today but I'm not sure it will rain enough to make the track muddy....if it is muddy , it will help Exaggerator

1. Nyquist
2. Exaggerator
3. Collected
