Bodemeister gallops,I'll Have Another will be real close but won't have the pace advantage he had when Bodemeister ran 45 for the half(although 45 at a shorter distance might let Bodemeister hange on)anything close to 46+ and Bodemeister gallops by 5

Valid points for sure and I don't blame you and others a bit for thinking he will gallop. I'm just going with the too many tough races close together and the 2 for 36 stat on Ky Derby 2nd place finishers in the Preakness. He can finish out the exacta or tri but I won't use him on the win end. CC has already beaten him on the square and IHA has better speed than most think.

A few years ago I bet the Special/preakness double
100 DD Bet Eddington/Scrappy T
If I remember correctly The payoff would have been 750.00 for a 2 dollar bet
Well Eddington won, and we all know The GREAT ride Ramon Dominguez gave Scrappy T.

Ahhhhh, If only Afleet Alex did not run that day

Count me in with the people who will not use Bode on top.

I might put him in the 3rd spot or something but I'm just not seeing it here.

Sorry but I think his fans will have to come back down to earth soon enough... when he's just another also-ran.

Will take another look at CC.

Good luck with the Creative Cause thing...the horse is a real Munson. Bodemeister will dominate this race. Try to find the price in the Pimlico Special.
