*****PREAKNESS ANALYSIS*****

There’s been quite a bit of controversy since the Kentucky Derby winner, Medina Spirit, failed a post-race drug test. Nonetheless, he is still running in a race with very little speed in it other than Medina Spirit (himself), Concert Tour, and Midnight Bourbon. Those three horses are also your most likely winners. Possibly for a long shot, I like Rombauer a little bit.

I’m going to try to beat Medina Spirit as his Derby price had much better odds. No way I’m betting him at 9/5. I also wouldn’t be shocked if both Baffert’s horses entirely miss the board (considering they will be under 24 hour surveillance) OR run 1st and 2nd.

For the Preakness, I’m basically tossing all the horses from the previous prep races I thought were garbage… this includes the 4,7,8, and 9. It takes a pair of brass ones to throw out two Chad Brown horses and one Todd Pletcher. Or, I can also be an idiot for doing so.

My guess is that the pace of the race is going to be very controlled as the two fastest horses, Medina Spirit and Concert Tour, are both trained by Bob Baffert. There is no way that his horses go so fast that they cancel each other out, especially with two Hall of Fame jockeys in Johnny V and Mike Smith.

I would suggest keying the following three horses on top 5,6,10 over 1,2,3,5,6,10. In order to make any money in this race, the 1,2 or 6 needs to be in the Trifecta or it's chalk city.
