I cant believe mine floated up to 6/1. Not a bad hit at all. Glad I stayed out of the exotics though ... I truly don't think I would have hit that 10 and 5 behind him.
Felt bad for Bodexpress. But no one was hurt, so that's always a relief.

Re: Probables for the Preakness
I feel even worse for Bodexpress knowing that even without a jockey he couldn't keep up with the field
War of Will sure is a gutsy horse! You would think the Louisiana and Kentucky Derbies would sour him completely but he just keeps fighting on!

Re: Probables for the Preakness
I'll make my pick for the Belmont Stakes after that race has been run.
Then at least I'll have a 50/50 chance of getting it right

I agree. It was nice to see a horse than ran the Fairgrounds preps win the Preakness.Louise Bayou wrote: ↑5 years ago HAHAHAHAHA I love it! Let the "omg if MS was in the race he would have not won" begin.

Re: Probables for the Preakness
So any predictions on what shocking thing is gonna happen in the Belmont? This is turning out to be an unforgettable triple crown season!

Re: Probables for the Preakness
War of Will is a big, athletic, beautiful horse and how strange to see a son of War Front out of a Sadler's Wells mare win a major dirt race but I am okay with it! I am very glad that Bodexpress didn't injure himself or others during or after the race.

Well, Vegas is offering a Derby/Preakness proposition bet on the Belmont.Carole Hanson wrote: ↑5 years ago So any predictions on what shocking thing is gonna happen in the Belmont? This is turning out to be an unforgettable triple crown season!
894-1 that the winning horse will
(1) be disqualified and taken down ...
AND
(2) that a jockey will be thrown from a horse within moments of the starting gates opening.
Both things must happen, apparently, in order for you to win.
(I think they should be more specific on that "within moments" thing. Like, say, within 50 feet 'of the starting gate.
I mean, exactly how much time is "within moments"?)
I'm going to go ahead and put $10 on that. $10 to win $8,940? Sure. Why not?
I wonder if they're going to have a prop bet on an Ice Age-type meteor striking Earth the moment the winning horse crosses the finish line?
They say you can bet on anything in Vegas. Apparently, they're right.
I always pay attention when Eric Hamme talks about horses running in Maryland.

Re: Probables for the Preakness
So i guess drifting all over the track on the turn is not acceptable in the derby, but perfectly acceptable in the straight of the Preakness is?

Re: Probables for the Preakness
I agree. Though he ran well, kept his distance. Just wanted to go with the field. The only time I felt it became dangerous was when the rider begun to chase him in the stretch. Seems a clever horse.Nena Olson wrote: ↑5 years ago I am very glad that Bodexpress didn't injure himself or others during or after the race.

He didn't wipe out 4 other horses either.
