What the Nation is saying about the 2010 Preakness Stakes (G1)...

When the gates opened and the field turned for home it was not Twirling Candy running them all down, it was First Dude.Read More

  • DeadHeat · I agree about the dirt statement Stevebiscuit, but you never know until they run in a circle. Personally I've always been a fan of First Dude and felt he had this win coming, so i'm not upset by the finish in the least. All three performed like champs. · 676 days ago ·

  • 12 Clip · Good article Laura. The transformation of First Dude from a front-runner to a closer has been quite a transformation for the son of Stephen Got Even. His new style is so much better suited for his body-type. The Dude is a big colt that hits the ground hard. The way he closed in the Gold Cup reminded me of how Curlin use to grind them down. A winner of three in-a-row, it now seems like The Dude has no problem taking pictures in the winners circle. I think his style is perfect for Churchill Downs and the classic distance. And remember he was in the race last year as a three-year-old against one of the best fields ever assembled. This year I can visualize him getting a similar trip to the one Blame got in the Classic. There's still alot of racing til then, and Baffert needs to figure out what his next race will be. Although the Pacific Classic looks like the most likely spot. I'm not so sure if First Dude will be able to grip and dig as well on Del Mar's poly-track. He is 3 for 3 in the money lifetime on synthetic tracks, so with him I think the surface probably doesn't matter, but nonetheless it is Del Mar · 676 days ago ·

The performance of the week was turned in by Preakness hero Lookin At Lucky. Kudos to Bob Baffert for going against the grain and giving Martin Garcia the nod over Garrett Gomez. The latter was not to blame for a troubled Derby journey but needed to be replaced from a karma perspective. The move pai...Read More

  • Arrrgy · No Cigar. It makes a difference. Speaking of tradition! The Belmont Stakes was run at Jerome Park from 1867 to 1889; at Morris Park from 1890 to 1904; at Aqueduct from 1963 to 1967. Not run in 1911 and 1912. Run at a mile and five furlongs from 1867 to 1873; a mile and a quarter in 1890, 1891, 1892, 1895, 1904 and 1905; a mile and a furlong in 1893 and 1894; a mile and three furlongs from 1896 to 1903 and from 1906 to 1925. No time taken in 1907 and 1908. Run as a Handicap Stakes in 1895 and in 1913. The value for the 1987, 1988 and 1992 winners includes the $1,000,000 Triple Crown point system bonus. · 1096 days ago ·

The drought continues. For the 32nd straight year - tacking on yet one more year in the ongoing record of Triple Crown futility - there will be no sweep of racing's most coveted prize.

  • railbird33 · But, we've had some close calls, too. Curlin & Point Given needed a third start going into the Derby (like Lucky), Silver Charm lost the crown on a head-bob to Touch Gold AND a $5 million Visa bonus. Smarty Jones would have done it if Elliot hadn't got sucked into that front-end duel with Bailey & Solis (1:11.3 -at six furlongs!!!!) Barbaro ? maybe. But it truly makes it special- when it happens!! · 1096 days ago ·
