Quay confirmed for Preakness

[miraja2]

I liked CQ a lot in the Derby, and I think he could be a good value here in comparison to the top three.
To me this race is a tough one to figure out how to play, but I think including CQ in exactas and trifectas with Curlin and Hard Spun is the way to go. You have to assume that CB is going to try skimming the rail again with Street Sense, and one of these times he is going to get shut down. Maybe it won't be this race, or maybe Street Sense really is good enough to beat top horses without the ground-saving ride, but I am going to make him prove it to me one more time, largely because there will be ZERO value on him.
With all the speed up front, I think CQ is a factor here.
Look at his beyer numbers at Churchill Downs and other tracks. His best races at both 2 and 3 have NOT been at Churchill. Despite his two wins there, he has actually looked stronger at Saratoga and in Louisianna than he ever has at Churchill. He may like Pimilico.
