Preakness

[jpops757]

How many of the Derby starters will go to Baltimore? Lets start with Tufflesburg, he dances every dance.

[todko]

It might be a match race between SS and Hard Spun. Without Pletcher's circus could be a very short field.

[Danzig]

assuming they come out well:

street sense
hard spun
curlin
imawildncrazyguy
teuf (sigh)


then king of the roxy is supposed to be there for team TAP.
etude (winner of the tesio).
flying first class.

so there's eight. who else? what about the horse who won the withers? is he going preakness, or peter pan/belmont (sightseeing is supposed to be going that route)?

[paisjpq]

don't forget the ones who are pointing to Baltimore without the derby...sightseeing, king of the roxy, flying first class (whose speed will cause problems for hard spun if he doesn't want to rate)

[paisjpq]

oops...you beat me deb.

Here's a quote from Pletcher in today's BRIS.net column;

"Right now, I'd have to say that none of these five would go to the Preakness. We've been training King of the Roxy (Littleexpectations) for that race and he's our horse for it."

—Pletcher on whether his Derby horses will try the Preakness next

Looks like only King of the Roxy will be heading there

[tiznowthegreat]

I know it's early but still ...

Confirmed

Street Sense
Hard Spun
Chelokee
King of the Roxy
Xchanger
Slew's Tizzy
CP West
Starbase or Flying First Class

Possible

Teuflesberg
Curlin
Sedgefield


Wouldn't exactly be the toughest rendition of the Preakness in recent years. Who do you all think could challenge Street Sense?

I'm surprised Todd is putting King of the Roxy in here. He is soo good sprinting, I don't get it. He fought his guts out to be second at SA....I just wish they'd keep him sprinting.

may be going out on a limb here ( ) but i think todd pletcher won't be winning the preakness either.


i like king of the roxy, but not for routing.

[tycharles01]

WildCrazyGuy (aka) how the hell did i run 4th

seems to be headed to Belmont Stakes not Preakness


Xchanger and Hard Spun might have good chances to knock off SS

A classic placing would make his stallion value zoom. "See, this is a fast sprinter who can run [sort of] long as well!" The Team Valor partnership will want to put as much stallion value into him as they can before they sell him for stud, since his pedigree is not that fashionable.

OK, maybe not. I just remembered Water Cannon... another grey that won the Federico Tesio.
