I’ll Have Another was entered Wednesday to continue his Triple Crown quest in the $1 million Preakness Stakes (G1), but Reddam Racing’s Kentucky Derby winner may not be favored to win Pimlico Race Course’s signature race for 3-year-olds on Saturday.Read More
Will I'll Have Another move one step closer to the all too elusive Triple Crown? Bodemeister and Creative Cause hope to end his hopes in Baltimore.Read More

  • ruffed grouse · I am leery of Bodemeister as he is making his 3rd start in 5 weeks and he was a tired horse the last part of the derby. Thoro- Graph has him finishing up the last half in 52 and change. I know he looks good and all that but they can fool you and you realize you made a mistake at about the 1/8th pole. He may be the exception to the rule and if he is he will not look back but I am betting against it. · 5 hours ago ·

  • Capper · I'm leaning toward Creative Cause, with all that trouble & the wide trip, he was right there at the wire. Plus, he'll easily be triple the odds of Bodemeister/I'll Have Another. With all the love Went the Day Well is getting, he may drift up to 10-1. · 4 hours ago ·

  • saratoga john · Having watched the race several times since Derby Day, Guiterrez made two key moves with I'll Have Another. Both occurred at the top of the stretch. One, was at the start, and the other move at the turn for home. The first was getting him out of that 2nd gate to a wide-open space through the stretch so he could relax the horse through the clubhouse turn. The second, was pretty remarkable since this was Guiterrez' first time in a race of this magnitude. It was the key move as they spun off the turn at the 1/4 pole. Drifting out in the middle of the track with Went the Day Well & Dullahan to his outside, the key move was sliding him back inside to make his run at Bodemeister. The closers were still commited the the 7 & 8 paths and stayed out there to launch, but it was too late. Guiterrez was already gone and taking a bead on the game Bodemeister. Bodemeisters' ability to burn those fractions and still be running at the end was quite impressive. That's why I'm taking Bodemeister in the shorter Preakness. · 9 hours ago ·

I like #6 for him, hope for a good break and sit behind the 7, gonna be a great race!
This horse is really an exceptional racehorse! He is consistently game! I think he is overlooked a lot!
Rather than take Reddam Racing’s I’ll Have Another out to exercise on a wet track Tuesday morning, trainer Doug O’Neill opted to keep the Kentucky Derby winner under cover and out of the heavy rain falling at Pimlico Race Course, where he is set to run in Saturday’s Preakness Stakes. Read More
I own an OTTB that is Creative Cause's brother so this is very exciting for Fighting Fian and I. He didn't miss out on the Derby by much so I'm saying he will WIN the Preakness!!

Bottom line is, Derby Day just wasn’t their day. For a not-insignificant number of Preakness winners, the disappointment of their efforts two weeks beforehand in the Kentucky Derby sometimes has been difficult to rationalize. Some, such as Snow Chief (1986), Point Given (2001), and Lookin At Lucky (...Read More
CC will win the Preakness he is my favorite 3YO and he's the best 3YO!

While a large field remains likely, the lineup for the 137th Preakness Stakes underwent some alterations Friday as Kentucky Derby third-place finisher Dullahan as well as Derby pace factor Trinniberg were removed from consideration while newcomers Teeth of the Dog and Zetterholm were added to the mi...Read More
In sifting through the current list of Preakness possibles, it occurs to me that this year, more than most, the horses that ran in the Kentucky Derby stand head and shoulders above the new shooters.

The 138th running of the Kentucky Derby went according to script from a pace standpoint and I’ll Have Another ran down Bodemeister after sitting the perfect outside stalking trip.

The Kentucky Derby beat "The Avengers" over the weekend. More money was bet on the Derby than was spent by all the geeks in the world, a pretty impressive happenstance.

I’ll Have Another, who won the Kentucky Derby on Saturday at Churchill Downs, flew to Maryland on Monday to get an early start on preparing for the 137th Preakness Stakes on May 19 at Pimlico Racecourse, a race that, like the Derby, should have a full field.Read More
irishbrave, What's the word on how far your guy traveled in the Derby? He had too much to make up, back 10L at the 3/4. Still my fav 3yo. Hope he came out of the race well. Looking forward to your updates. He did not disappoint.

  • Mary Z. · I'm all for worrying about hexes, jinxes, bad juju, as those things do occasionally have power if you're superstitious, and I can be, but it was more to do with staying off the speed 10L back as opposed to 3-4L back at the 3/4 and the 8wide trip coming home. · 9 days ago ·
