5/20 (PIM): B/E Susan (G2), McKay, Miss Preakness, Very One

[Hickory Hill Hoff]

Is there a Black eyed Susan / Preakness double?

[Gate Dancer]

Yes...............

Here's the wagering options for BES Day.......... http://www.preakness.com/sites/www.p.../11BDPOSTS.pdf

According to the weather man this morning, should be fast and firm by Saturday with very little chance of rain.

In The Very One it would be wise to watch the last race replay of Supreme.............big jump up in class but her last race was pretty impressive. Almost stopped in the stretch and then just blew by horses late.

I fear the whole world will have seen her last before betting opens. . .

Which may not necessarily be a bad thing................I'm not totally convinced she's fast enough. Viewers of the replay will draw their own conclusion. But it is rather eye-catching.

She was pretty impressive and outside of Rose Catherine, who has been kind of dull this year, there isn't much in there.

My only criticism and it's an obvious one is that was a really bad field she beat. She was essentially running by a field of 25k claimers. But I'm at the very least playing her prominently in multi's and depending on her odds, maybe to win.

Ya there's really nothing in the race. . . Supreme's lack of speed is my biggest concern, but I'll probably try to pound out some X w/ Royal Delta w/ Supreme PK3s and Royal Delta w/ Supreme w/ X because Rose Catherine's presence will add to the value.

The difference between 25K claimers and stakes horses in turf sprints is pretty slight...relatively speaking.
