Samba Rooster will probably crush those horses but won't be much of a price. . .

I think it's a great race....Samba Rooster, My Pal Charlie, Golden Spikes are all proven stakes contenders. Limestone Edge who won impressively at Keeneland beating Tizdejavu, who just won a stake at Churchill on Friday. It's the second tier of 3yo's who didn't have the earnings in time for the BB clinic. This group may have better competitors than the 18 who ran behind the courageous filly.

Actually, I'd tend to agree with him. I'll be at the Preakness to drink beer and enjoy the scene, but from a wagering perspective on the actual race... not much to get excited about.

No he wasn't....How much is it to supplement a horse into the the Preakness? Think they would lower the fee in order to attract better horses?
