There is no meaning in getting involved in disappointment due to the absence of sovereignty, the winner of Kentucky Derby, since Saturday 150 Stakes. Its ownership and training team made it clear that they do not consider the triple crown a prize that deserves to be chased, and instead, they are satisfied with targeting Belmont Stakes in early June.
Fortunately, this year’s Preakness is an attractive race with a mixture of returnees from Derby and News News who can be ready for stardom. The winning horse is likely to get a trip to Palmont to stir sovereignty-and to demand sovereignty in the three-year-old.
Here is what I see before the Saturday race from Baltimore.
The redemption in Baltimore?
The press, the farce of Kentucky Derby, is the preferred morning line again in Preakness. It surpassed 17 of 18 competitors in Derby, just ending behind sovereignty. On Saturday, the press will face a much smaller field (eight horses) full of signs of questions.
The betting question, though, is what is the value with it. It was listed at 8-5 in the morning line, which can be theft on a horse of its caliber. But will these difficulties already become, or are all the audiences thinking about the same? The lower the possibilities, the more the incentive to search elsewhere, especially when you think about the history of horses in the same place: nine preferred derby beating this century has turned into virgin, but only two of them won.
Baltimore kings
Bob Bafert and D. Wayne Lukas are two of the most decorating coaches in this sport, and they have excelled in this race like anyone else. The eight wins of Bavart are the most wound ever, and Lucas behind him with seven. Among them, they won the last two editions and a third of all the firstborn since 1980, which is nearly half of the century.
BAFFERT will send the goal this weekend. With the start of a profession only, not in the risk race, this is not the typical Baffert insertion. There is a clear, but. The guided by the goal won both the two races that they deliver and have an early speed, which can be useful in the lead. But this is a big step in terms of competition, and with such a kind biography, the unknown are abundant. With the attachment of the name Baffert, it is likely that it will get a great deal of attention to betting, and leads its price. None of BafFERT’s victory in this race with a horse like this – but perhaps this is just a reflection of his confidence in this?
Lucas, at the same time, runs American Promise, who was last seen while finishing the path in Derby. His knight, Nick Khwariz, tried a medium step in this race, but he ended up with a narrow between two others and then quickly retreated from the dispute. This performance should be taken into account a lot, especially given that the only American Promise victories were against a much less competition than this. It is likely to be the best argument for him in this race is Lucas himself, who he won with long shots before, including the seizure of Ramadi on 9-1 last year.
The return of the other derby
Sandman connects the horses here after running in my derby. He was very popular among the audience betting on that day, as it was the second option, but he never entered the race and ended the seventh well. His team made a late and amazing decision to run here. His style as a deep horse was not generally good in virgin, so he will either need to change things and closer to speed, or will depend on the first place who walk very quickly and burn. His name is inspired by Metallica and Celebrity ownership Number again to attract a lot of support in windows.
Impound derby
It was usual to be almost automatically that the horse would come out of Kentaki Derby. From 1984 to 2016, 30 of 33 winners were nominated in Louisville. But since then, we seem to have entered a new era.
Modern trainers are increasingly frequently frequently operating their horses; Trying to switch for two weeks between Lukeville and Badimore cannot be perceived for many of them. This door was opened to Derby Taris, and the horses sitting in running roses and aimed at Preakness instead. They have now won six from the last eight.
The goal of the BafFERT goal is one of them, but it may be the most intelligent again, which signs of brilliance in his three professional ranked. In its latest, the risk victory in Oaklon Park won in Arkansas, and published a rapid classification for Beyer 101-which made it the only horse here alongside the press that put a three-digit figure.
The Thames river waves on the horizon as well. Again in March, he ran against sovereignty in the risk race and lost by the neck. It can be sitting in a good position on Saturday as well, out of the fastest horses and prepares to take over late. In some way, his coach, the Famir Todd Blecher Hall, is 0 against 10 in this race, although he often exceeds with his best. The more money that the press, Sanddman and the target cavity increases, the more intelligently it can appear, the Thames River may appear with the value of the value.
The other Derby residents deserve long clips. Heart of Honor is located here after a long journey from the Middle East, where he ranked second in the risk race to be admired by Daytona (which then ran in Derby). Pay Billly, who won a great in the lower level Mariland, takes a local customary opening in the race; 42 years have passed since the horse took this way to Preakness winning. The time of Gusger and the classification of speed were both in the race he won to get here.
Betrayal
I went with my heart in my derby, and I chose the story of feeling satisfied with Lucas and the American promise, and I got an exhausted bank account to show it. I don’t think I am not tempting that I forgive that Derby in the sixteenth place has ended and took another shot with him here, and who knows, maybe I will calm myself in doing so. But as much as I am a Lucas horses in the triple crown races, I have my eyes on some other possibilities.
Along with the rest of the NBC team, I will tell you what you reached before the race on Saturday. (Don’t worry, with a lot of time to cancel your bet if you curse your horse by choosing it.)
