Nice to see this one back on the tab after a 4 year hiatus. I think it fills something of a gap for the older dirt horses this time of year. Seems like a good betting race too. Thoughts?

[peeptoad]

Okay, apparently BRIS won't let you link free pps.

Anyhow, Endorsement may be the horse to beat. They brought him back really nicely and he seems to have a good recent foundation under him. Alternation is the other that will take money, but is he as good away from OP? I say, yes, but he may not have things his own way on the front end. Cherokee Artist and Eighttofasttocatch may be value horses.
Hymn Book is a play on an off-track only, and I think Nehro is overrated, but he may get a pace setup here.

[ten2oneormore]

I know he hasn't won in a while but has been competitive against much stronger fields than this.We'll see how they bet it ,don't even know the ML yet.

:9: Alternation for me. He turned in a nice 4f work in 48 and 3/5 today over the Pimlico track.

Nice. I'd like to see this horse have a top year... seems like the blinks may have woken him up.

[JustRalph]

:4: Cherokee Artist is outclassed.......but for some reason I kind of like him

I think this might be a late runners paradise though...................

[duncan04]

I like the :3: Hymn Book. Should gain ground late

[Dahoss2002]

Ywanna Twist

[toetoe]

Any of the top four or five in the Preakness would figure to whip these, horibile dictu. :(

[GaryG]

:5: Nehro is coming around again and the price will be right.

[jerry-g]

I like the :1:, Tobys Corner. He has won at the class and can close nicely in the stretch. He has a nice 6F work 73 3/5 on 12th of May. The distance of this race lends itself to closers. Hymn Book for 2nd. :)

[FlyinLate]

:2: Endorsement

Finally seems to be coming in to his own after that extended layoff. Continues to improve, nice tactical speed, should sit just off leaders and punch go turning for home.

[BIG HIT]

Show good early aft lay and ran 4th by 2l last yr preakness plus last two works bullets hope fore good price like ml

[Sparky13]

My order of finish for the top three in the Pimlico Special:

3 - Hymn Book
6 - Mission Impazible
1 - Toby's Corner

[Valuist]

Has the feel of a chaotic race. I'm tossing out the heaviest 2-3 bet horses.

[salty]

Endorsement
Ywanna twist
Alternation
Mission impazzible

I'm looking for an outcome something like this.

[peeptoad]

ex bx: Endorsement, Cherokee Artist, Alternation

Does Smith know how to rate a horse? Doesn't look good for Bode tomorrow.
