:8: Dyna Waltz...excellent turf trainer; gets Dominguez; off track experience in Europe; also second off layoff

Race 10:
:5: Icabod Crane...almost always gives a good acc't of himself ( 9 times 1-2-3 in last 10), though mainly in NY bred races. Has 3 wins at the distance and is 2 1-0-1 at Pim.
:6: Our Dark Knight...kind of a hunch bet. Has been off form since allow win at Gulf in Jan. Any return to last year's form could do it today.

Race 11
:6: Slew's Answer...comes off a restricted stakes win at Tampa. Lightly raced 4 yr old is 2-1-0 in his 3 races. Motion trains
:8: Bim Bam...hasn't won a race since early last year. Has had ealy trouble in last 3 including the grade 1 Makers Mark. Bullet work at Delaware last week.

Race 12
:9: Mucho Macho Man...why not; I bet him in the Derby; giving him another try. June foal may be sitting on best effort
:11: Animal Kingdom...Derby winner looked impressive. Accordint to Motion, he came out of the race real good.

I only wish I had analyzed the winners as good as I analyzed the losers

Every year the same thing. Win big at CD on Derby day and give it back two weeks later at Pimlico. I am gonna schedule myself to work for every Preakness and get paid rather than paying. Pimlico is tough. Congats to Dale Romans and most of all to Jesus Castanon, he deserves the credit for giving this horse the best chance to show his his true potential.
