Thanks for the thread. I’ll check back when I get home from work to see who won.
What is the post time?
Thanks for posting. BBL
With all the rain & flooding, the horses might have to swim this one! :-)
Libloather, feel free to take over this live thread. I may not be able to access a computer very much after 4pm.

Thanks, and good luck, all!
2018 PREAKNESS LIVE THREAD PING!
“Justify looms as a towering presence. After generating a whopping 114 dominating the Santa Anita Derby, his Speed rating tumbled 12 points in the Kentucky Derby (102 Speed) but it’s still faster than any number generated by rivals in the last three starts.
Expected wet conditions won’t be an issue for Justify. He captured the Kentucky Derby in the slop and registered a 104 BRIS Speed rating winning an allowance on a muddy track at Santa Anita.
Lone Sailor is the only other runner with a triple-digit figure from the last three outings, receiving a 100 for a close second in the Louisiana Derby.
The Tom Amoss-trained late runner brought improving form into the Kentucky Derby but was repeatedly stopped and forced to regain his momentum recording a severely-troubled eighth. Irad Ortiz Jr. will pick up the mount for the Preakness.
Good Magic has not run back to the 105 he earned posting an upset win in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile at Del Mar.
The Kentucky Derby runner-up will be the clear second choice in the wagering, but Good Magic’s Speed ratings are far from overwhelming.”

My only doubt with late running longshot Lone Sailor (to finish in the top 3) is will he be ok with the slop being kicked up in his face as he tries to make his way through the pack. Some closers don’t seem to mind and still finish well despite.

Justify- Good Magic - Quip
Thanks for having a thread.
We need more racing pings.
Thanks for posting. I had forgot about the Preakness today. I’m rooting for Justify and Mike Smith.
Being a short field (8 compared to the Derby’s 20) and having two horses getting MOST of the money, those being Justify getting the Lion’s Share, and Good Magic getting sloppy seconds, every other horse will have (I hope ) even more inflated win odds. I have 3 longshots figuring into my superfectas ( I have a tvg.com account) and I am very excited about D. Wayne’s entries, Bravazo and Sporting Chance. ALSO, Lone Sailor cannot be excluded from either the trifecta or superfecta. Irad Ortiz is a jockey who can do anything, and I saw this about 4 years ago when he was still a bug boy. He and his brother are in the Preakness, (Jose is on Good Magic) and if the race plays out the way it might, he would be the only really LIKELY one to catch Justify at the wire, if Justify happens to try a repeat of the Derby on the lead all the way.I have win bets on 4 long shots #1 Quip #2 Lone Sailor #3 Sporting Chance and #8 Bravazo-—I have a very strong feeling that both Lukas horses will be in the top four-—If Good Magic and Justify finish 1-2 or 2-1 , it won’t much matter who is 3rd or 4th-—the payoffs will almost make it not worth betting.So I am going with Sporting Chance to win.
Hey guys! That was a great derby for me. I actually got lucky for once. Exacta Justify Good Magic.
We put a few bets on the Preakness but I will have to listen in the car on XM cause I am GOING TO TAYLOR SWIFT and I’m as excited as a 14 year old. :)
I have had a few beers in the infield at Pimlico. Always extra funny watching the crowd when it rains.
