Anybody Got A Preakness Bet?

[MyTeamIsOnTheFloor]

I'm gonna wheel Dortmund, Pharoah and Firing Line.

There is no money in this race.

If a local jockey knows the firm lane, and its muddy - maybe.
Otherwise, its chalk.

I bet it rains like hell and ruins the day.

Go with Pharoah...

Did you mean 'box' or 'key' or did you actually bet one permuation of 2/1/8 cold?

I lost. I bet Pharoah 1 and the others 2. The rain beat me.

 

[AckAck]

Got it. I believe that would be an exacta key-wheel 1 over 2/8.

If either 1/2 or 1/8 finish you would have won.

I'm great at "woulda won"
Less at "won"

Only one thing matters now. Same as always. Can this horse handle the extra 1/4 mile?

Or will it be yet another Belmont upset?

 

[MyTeamIsOnTheFloor]

The horse industry has the same problem as the boxing industry - once they've seen Secretariat and Ali, nobody wants to watch the bums.

This horse may win the Belmont. but it hasn't broken a record, or even matched a Secretariat fraction.

Really? My impression is that horse racing as an industry is far healthier than boxing...

But people do want to see a new secretariat. I'm not an expert, but I wonder if it's even possible for a horse to win another triple crown.
