Preakness - Scattered Thunder Storms

[Watcher]

Weather.com is posting scattered thunder storms for May 16th in Baltimore...

Does RA still run against the boys, first time out, in the slop? Does Friesan Fire get the chalk again or does MTB?

[toussaud]

considering her performance in the oaks and considering with her running style she is going to get as clean a trip as anyone in the race, yes.


MTB's connections can be found outside doing a rain dance.

:eek: No, no, no, no :mad: ....
Rain, rain, go away...please don't spoil Preakness Day :faint:

It could be another sloppy track for Mind That Bird..I just got a feeling he's going to do it again..

[joanied]

If it comes up sloppy, he just might do that...although, RA won the Oaks on an off track. it maybe wasn't slop, but it was muddy...and don't forget Freisan Fire likes the slop too....

[Robert Fischer]

the track could be labled "good"

[JWBurnie]

Have you all forgotten about POTN? In my eyes, he proved he can run on dirt... didn't mind the slop either. I think the turns really need to be taken into account at Pimlico. I could easily see RA going 2-3 wide into the first turn and being pushed out to the 4-5 path (oh, they wouldn't do that).

Actually, I am actually hoping everyone has forgotten about Pioneerof The Nile or at a minimum are looking elsewhere.

i think he is the best horse...

on a side note if it rains the infield is gonna get ugly

[turfnsport]

Remember this time of year in Baltimore the weathermen always seem to call for a 30% chance of t-storms..weathermen just covering their butts.

[turfnsport]

And keep in mind if the weathermen are actually correct (which is never), the surface at Pimlico dries out quickly.

Not a chance in hell, miesque...and I beleive he's gonna run a huge race:)

[Watcher]

I think he's going to run the race he always runs... ~96 Beyer.

I was on POTN in the Derby and I am with you here....He runs in the 4th, 5th range....go Fresian Fire
