Preakness

Coming out of the Derby, I am as concerned about the animals as everyone else. The dominance Big Brown showed was a foot note to the tragedy of Eight Belles. May GOD be with her. My picks for the Preakness are

1. Big Brown
2. Stevil
3. Gayego

Best 2 minutes in sports!

The Kentucky Derby is almost here and all I can say is, go PYRO! I have not seen such a strong team since Barbaro. My picks are

WIN: Pyro
PLACE: Cool Coal Man
SHOW: Big Brown

Bang for the buck.

After pouring over the stallion options available this year, I have my top picks.

1. Monarchos wins the top choice. $6000 for a Kentucky Derby winner is a steal.
2. Flatter takes second place. $5000 would get A.P. Indy close.
3. Magic Cat in the third choice. $3000 pairs Storm Cat with Fappiano.
4. Country Side would be a smart choice for Secretariat fans, and for only $1500 per season.
