What the Horse Racing Nation is saying about Dance City...

Hopefully Dance City will be back next year and ready. Some of these horses will be good next year, can just feel it.
josephe-hope Todd decides on grass this horse will adore it..peace

The second jewel of the Triple Crown will be awarded today and the horse to the left is hoping it matches the one he already holds! Animal Kingdom arrived this morning at 6:45 a.m. at Pimlico from Fair Hill and he looks terrific.I happened to catch him getting his morning…Read More
Early wagering began on Friday for the 2011 Preakness Stakes at Pimlico Race Course and Dialed In is the 3-1 co-favorite with Kentucky Derby winner Animal Kingdom. Read More
The field is loaded…They’re in the gates…And they’re OFF in the Preakness Stakes! Out comes Flashpoint to take the early lead with Shackleford and Dance City in hot pursuit. Read More

  • cugel the clever · Zatt said "Astrology has been beaten consistently by lesser horses, he's a possibility to turn it around, but I can't bet him". Nonsense. Astrology is one of only 6 horses in this race who has won a graded stakes race. And that six does not include Mr.C. Astrology has also placed 2nd in three other graded stakes races in his career. He belongs in this race more than does most of the field. I pick him for 4th but won't be surprised if he's closer. · 371 days ago ·

  • crazy horse · Mr Commons is my LS play along with Sway Away. I don't know why anyone would be more than a little worried about Dialed In, Astrology or Midnight Interlude and I'd be very worried about Flashpoint. Have you seen what Wesley does with 1stW/Trn? Of course, the only way he or any other front runner will win is if they run :47 or slower. · 371 days ago ·

The Oaks/Derby Double was not one of the tickets I could cash two weeks ago, as St. John's River came a stride too late for a huge double with Animal Kingdom to payoff. Undeterred, I'll be right back at it with the Black-Eyed Susan/Preakness Double. It does not have quite the combination possibiliti...Read More

The post draw is complete for the Preakness. I was slightly confused at the low morning line given to Derby winner Animal Kingdom - thinking 3-1 would be more than fine from out in post 11 especially - but it is what it is. It's not like you could take too much advantage of any Preakness feelings an...Read More
The eyes of the racing world shift quickly from the Kentucky Derby to the Preakness. The question everyone is asking is can Animal Kingdom do it again?Read More

Dance City is a good horse, i liked the way he ran the last race, but it will be very tough to beat G1 K.D. experinced horses in the preakness, although he came behind Nehro, but he has to beat first 4 horses of the derby, and also he has more than a month layoff, i am very much in doubt that Jockey of Animal Kingdom will allow the Dance City to pass by him.
Midnight Interlude breezed an energetic three furlongs in :35.60 at Churchill Downs on May 16. The morning move was the second best of six at the distance and the Bob Baffert trainee will ship to Maryland on Wednesday.Read More

josephe-love Dance City only problem is MI is said too be in..As much as I hate too gonna go with my speed figures and hope we get too run.peace
This guy is in my top 5 for the Preakness for sure! Alternation flattered him with his win in the Peter Pan. DC was 4.5 lengths ahead of Alternation in the AD. And after stalking some fast fractions set by JP's Gusto, he was passed by SA, but didn't give up in the stretch and got up for 3rd only getting passed late by 2 fast closers. Impressive in only his 4th career start! Figures improving with every start. Had a very nice work on Sunday! I think he stays for 3rd or 4th in the Preakness.
I hope his odds stay over 10. I'm liking what I'm hering about him coming into this race. The Arkansas was impressive and he's well rested.
josephe-too bloy when fast horses like Dance City show the ability to rate ,like he did.They run by allowance horses like shackelford...The only danger in front of him is Flashpoint if he keeps going....These are slow horses...103 derby winners can be beat.(beyer) that is..we saw the best out of those animals who ran their race.....but u can dump on if u want .I could never make my living on horses that are overbet,and short on true speed..these are slow horses ,,I take a horse whos cycling up with odds and trip that match....The San Vincente is the best race this year..True speed wise..Sway away should have inhaled ,but he ended up gasping...it was a key race .that leads me too believe given the race that Dance City ran too The live horse Sway Away...With A good trip I can Expect a 12.00-26.00 return on investment....roi thats how u stay in this game...peace

It may not possess all the hoopla of the Kentucky Derby, or have the “Test of Champions” nickname like the Belmont Stakes, but make no mistake, it is the middle jewel of the Triple Crown that has become the most important barometer in naming a champion come year’s end in all of American racing.

  • RaTalk_Girl · Since my Preakness picks are up in the air, I may take another look at Mucho Macho Man. The Preakness is my favorite Triple Crown race because that is when I started appreciating horseracing for more than just a gamble. I think she went 8 for 8 that season. ;) · 379 days ago ·
