The horses that have been mentioned for the Preakness that did not run yesterday include Flashpoint, Sway Away, and Dance City (who has worked twice at CD in the last 2 wks). If anyone notices any other horse and wants to add them have at it.

I agree with your assessment, it looks like there will be more new faces in the Preakness than Derby vets...and that's a relief. It will be interesting to see if Nehro's connections can avoid the temptation to run him...I think the Belmont makes a lot more sense. Master of Hounds would be ok in the Preakness, he's lightly raced and should be able to come back in two weeks but they will probably ship him back home and return him a couple days before the Belmont...why learn from mistakes, just keep making the same ones.
