Good card overall. But, wow, that is one sad edition of the Pimlico Special.

Paul

Not a good group or not enough horses? Just asking

I agree the Pimlico Special is bad this year. Some of those horses can't win a claiming race.

Then again, it's not a G1 anymore like in past years, so I should not expect a top notch field.

Rosie versus Rosario. Should make for an interesting Friday afternoon.

True, this is not a Grade 1 any longer, But, for $300,000, I would think there might be a few decent horses out there who might want to compete.

Paul

I'm afraid without the pp's i don't even know who most of the horses are. I must be out of the loop. Definitely not the same Pimlico Special of yesteryear...

Not exactly the 1988 edition of the Pimlico Special (linked below), but at least they are trying to keep this race going.

Any idea if they will be offering 2 day DD or Pick 3?

Black Eyed Susan/Preakness

It's Pimlico Special-Preakness.

I stand corrected. They switched last year right? Black Eye Susan / Preakness would be a nice bet given the fields.

Thanks

If Ben's Cat wins, I think King L. should start asking now for somebody to put up the money to supplement him to the BC !!

Walkwithapurpose and Manuka Honey out of the Black-Eyed Susan.

Bummer about the two scratches, but this is such an excellent card!

Does anyone have any insight into the Pimlico Special?

I wanted to play the Special / Preakness double, but the field is so bad for the Pimlico Special that it's hard to separate them unless I want to use an overbet Richard's Kid or Last Gunfighter.

I dont have much of an opinion on the race. Other than the 2 horses you mentioned both STINK. Bad field. Wait until Saturday. The late pick 4 is nice, even if you love ORB.

Am I the only one who likes Toasting?
