I like Machos chances but Dialed in is going to very dangerous in this one

Dialed In is going to be a terrible bet for the second time in a row. i like Sway Away price-wise. I want to like Dance City, but the pace scenario worries me. I'll still use him.

Bad news for you and Hockey, that is where I'm leaning too

Isn't the Preakness more or less a favorite's race though? When was the last time a true longshot won the thing? Would Louis Quatorze qualify somehow?

Bernardini paid $27.

Certainly an anomaly though. No? Wasn't he the second choice at that number too?

I don't recall Louis Quatorze being that big a price (still double digits, however), even though he was far back in the Derby. Aside from the already noted Bernardini, the only other double digit winners that I recall in recent years were Charismatic and Red Bullet.
