  • CauseForConcern · As for the rain forecast, Ruler On Ice does have the experience, but, THAS has never been over a sloppy oval. His sire has produced 30% mud winners, which is a very high percentage. So, therefore, despite the fact that he's never seen a sloppy track, I believe he might be there, based on his sire's mudder% winners. Let the race begin!!!! · 238 days ago ·

  • Protagonist · Hey Coggins whoo's laughing now, THAS, proved to be the key foe in Stakes Record Time! Ruler On Ice did have something to say ,he finished second, and Rattlesnake Bridge was Third! Where is Rush Now? His Rushing Skills are about as good as the Chicago Bears,as they couldn't contain GREEN BAY! · 233 days ago ·

  • CauseForConcern · Brian Zipse: I don't know if you recall, but four weeks ago, you named Stay Thirsty the Horse Of The Week, and I had made a suggestion that To Honor And Serve was deserving IMO. He proved me right today. Hope you give me consideration. · 234 days ago ·

  • jinlie01 · My pick is THAS..ROI (especially off track) and RR are the main competition. The only question is why JVelasquez is opting to ride RR instead of THAS. At least Lezcano has ridded him before at 2. · 237 days ago ·

May 21, 2011 will for sure be the end of the world according to self-proclaimed bible scholar Harold Camping. Of course, the 136th running of the Preakness Stakes coincides with this stone cold lock prediction. Coincidence? We didn’t think so either. That’s why the Paulick Report has come up with…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. · 362 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. · 362 days ago ·
