and it's on to the Preakness...
Good for Todd Pletcher always thought he was the type of trainer we would blink and he would have multiple derby wins. Always Dreaming is the type of horse that will win the Preakness setting is up for a fun Belmont.

That race was so boring. It felt like I was watching an Aqueduct Inner Route race where there was a gold rail. My first thought after the derby was that the Conquest MO Money team had to be sick they didn't supplement there horse bc with the inside bias I think they would have gotten to the front and never looked back. I hope Conquest MO Money heads to Baltimore ...

Classic Empire got bumped and shuffled back at the start. Made up lots of ground. I'll give him another shot, if he goes to the Preakness.

I am with you on Classic Empire. Always Dreaming got an ideal trip, I will attempt to beat him in the Preakness.

Always Dreaming made his own great trip tho by breaking great and putting himself in perfect position.

.......and that's why I said I liked him. That horse does not need the lead, he just has to be close. With the point system there are really no sprinter, pretenders in this race. The pace scenario used to set up the crazy results but the race has been way more logical with 5 logical winners in a row. Horses like this avoid the "cluster fck" by being near the lead. I think Orb was the only one to come from the clouds so being tactical is a huge advantage in this race.

I agree. Always Dreaming won his race. As I said, both he and Classic Empire came up on the list just a couple of points apart. One got his race. The other took it on the chin, but managed a courageous stretch drive. It will be some Preakness to watch.
Now, according to Sbcaris' Handicapping the Triple Crown, none of the horses from the Derby qualify on his first rule. Always Dreaming finished his last 1/4 in 26.72. I dont know if I should fall back on their Big 6 prep finishes, or just go with Always Dreaming and Classic Empire, if he runs.

Classic E should just skip the Preakness
nothing to gain. Rested CE vs AD at the Belmont.

Going to be tough to make money on the Preakness. AD is perfect style for easy Preakness win. Wonder if Pletcher still enters Malagacy? Maybe Cloud Computing at a price underneath... Very early

Classic Empire made that long sustained run. Which is what I look for in a Belmont horse. Same with Reach The World. These are the 2 horses I'm looking for to take down AD if he runs the Belmont assuming a TC is on the line.

Sadly, Reach The World was euthanized after a bad break during training. I agree with Classic Empire aside from his dosage is is not favorable for the Belmont. Always Dreaming in same boat. Hopefully AD wins the Preakness which could set up a bomb throwing event in the Belmont.
