Which horse do you favor in the Preakness this Saturday?

Hi Ed, I'm looking forward to it, too!! You may be right. I don't think Mine That Bird will do as well as in the Derby - and believe the win was attained because I Want Revenge was scratched. Can't wait to see the race! :-)

I was just wondering if the weather is going to be bad on Saturday. Looks like the east coast is in for a rainy weekend. Mine That Bird might just win again, but I don't think he will.

I saw I Want Revenge and really thought he was the horse to beat in the Kentucky Derby. He had great speed. It was a shame about his injury.

Hi Ed, I'm not sure about the weather on Saturday. It is supposed to be heavy storms, wind and rain here in Chicago.

Sal, if I Want Revenge was not scratched I really think he would have won. He opened a spot for Mine That Bird. I wonder what will happen on Saturday?? It is going to be an exciting race!! :-) Great to see you here, Sal!!

It will be exciting--Chicago Lady. I just hope the horses do not have bad weather.

My co-workers place small bets on the big races. We had I Want Revenge on four of our tickets. Next time we might just place bets on all the long shots :-)

Sounds like a good plan! :-)

Only 13 horses in Saturday's field. If I bet $5 on each to win, a longshot would make me money. But I don't gamble much.

Ed, You sound like a businessman and an astute investor. What I like to call a "Strategic Thinker." Please let me know how your intriguing plan pays off..... If you recover your allocation plus earn a profit, it will pay off! Good Luck!! :-)

Thanks, Sal. I've been wondering that too. I'm remembering that I Want Revenge (?) was scratched from the Derby at the last minute, and I really think that opened the door for Mine That Bird. I'm not sure if the same conditions will be in place on Saturday... whatever happens, it will be an exciting race!! Thanks for your answer! :-))
