2026 Preakness Field

[Sweet]

Some decent races Friday too at Laurel, Blacked-Eyed Susan and Pimlico Special.

Oak Grove, BigM and Mohawk have stakes finals that day and night.

Sunday, at Flamboro Prince Hal and Bruno final.

Laurel's Preakness Day on Saturday looks like next to the KYD, another HUGE POOLS wagering option!

As far as the Preakness card starts at 10:30 am Saturday, and it's a 14 race card, 8th-14th being all stakes.  I haven't seen the pps yet and know all these horses, but Napoleon Solo and Incredibolt is where I'm initially looking. 

Weather looks like FAST and FIRM at all tracks! Good Luck!

I love you bro 

With that said 

Taj Mahal is a cow 

The gall to have him at 5-1 ml with the likes of Incredibolt 

Started campaigning at 3, ok, went 3/3 sure on both fast and wet tracks, but beat nobodies in his home track, taking tremendous lashings each time.

Fancy name, undefeated, that is going to take money, an he even be bumped muchless tackled and finish 1 3/16...a gimmick.

If Taj Mahal wins at 25-1, 30-1 more likely to be at, or any odds  I'll quit racing by the end of November, cutting me off one month

I had Incredibolt on all of my horizontals in the derby.. he was coming on in the stretch and got squeezed and finished 6th if memory serves. My only concern with him is having only the 2 weeks off against fresh runners.I haven't looked closely enough yet to make my selections. Probably should learn my lesson from the derby and regardless tri and super box the Ortiz brothers, Prat, Gafflione and Saez.. maybe throw in Jr or Johnny V.

PRAT RIDING THE LIKELY FAV ,imho didnt look good in wood,,

#3 Crupper 30-1 ml & #6 Chip Honcho 5-1 ml & 10 Napoleon Solo (Paco) 8-1 ml.

That's the fastest ever I studied a TC race.

Saw the Brisnet PP, ran through them, under 10 minutes, including some replays!

For me it's a 3 horse race.

I think they just need to let Napoleon Solo be himself and Paco will this time.

So be it, NS will bottom out the field and the 3 (Junior), 6 (Jose Ortiz) who are fresh as can be, will come a calling.

Some of those derby horses had it rough and my hats are off to them and their connections for even finishing that race, muchless showing durability, some, great talent with the weight and distance.

I think I'm going to hit this superfecta!

I just started my studying. Could be some big prices in the Preakness.

Piss poor field for top caliber 3yr olds. But good betting race as it seems wide open!

[Brooklyn Brawler]

Incredibolt is a LOCK!

I may try Taj Mahal

[Pacer 2]

The 2 horse Ocelli was purchased for $12,000, has earned over $600,000 so far this year and is still a maiden.

             Looks like a really weak field for a triple crown race , seems like over the years the Preakness has lost its luster.   The top trainers with the headline horses don’t seem interested in going there

We the gamblers keep it exciting!

Lots and lots and lots of money will show up in the pools still where as like you said, the drawback.

There used to be a big triple crown bonus, that went away.

Then America Pharaoh broke the streak, after 37 years.

Then Baffert again 2018 with Justify.

Then it lost its luster.

The gamblers seem to be outperforming the owners lately...in risk, until some crazy loons pay bingo bongo prices for unproven stud fees and for prices of unproven yearlings.

[Lockedin with Pace]

Eventually they'll have to reschedule the Triple Crown races and have the Preakness 3 weeks after the Kentucky Derby instead of 2, that way more Derby horses will be willing to run in the Preakness including the Derby winner. In recent years the Preakness has lost its luster with the Derby winner bypassing it because of so little time between races. What they should do is have 3 weeks between the Ky Derby and Preakness, then the Belmont in 5 weeks.
