Fenwick is a son of Curlin as I think Rich Strike is so maybe there's hope for him. Looks like your kind of horse so pounce on him. Maybe you'll prove me wrong. I usually do that to myself on a regular basis.   |
It appears that more than a few Preakness bettors are hoping that lightning will strike twice in the same spot. In the very early wagering (around 6:30 PM on Friday) Fenwick was 9-1 and Happy Jack 7-1
. Only a small amount was in the win pool and I'm certain that these odds will have dramatic changes before post time on Saturday - still it does get your attention.
