Based on my early data, I have Epicenter, Secret Oath and
Simplification. The others don’t qualify on Caris’ Preakness indicator. However, 6 of the 11 are RAN horses.
Armagnac
Early Voting
RATTLE N Roll
Secret Oath
Shake em Loose
Skippylongstocking
None of the entries, as far as I have found, have the Conduit mare tail line. I could be wrong. My eyesight stinks, lately. It’s tough reading those small lines.
If Indicator #1 is correct, you can toss Armagnac and Creative Minister. However, We saw what happened with Rich Strike. If that’s the case, you use Armagnac in your exotics. You can box all six and see what happens. Or, take the top two, early voting and Epicenter and wheel them with the field. Here is now interesting note from the Derby. Simplification came roaring down the stretch and scored a final 1/4 mile in 25.05. I Don the know what his last 3/8ths were, but looking at his trackus stats, it must have been fast. I don’t know how this would factor in with the 1 3/16, but it’s something to consider. Of course, I’ll welcome any comments that beg to differ. After all, what the hell do I know? 😆😆😆😆.
