Here is the field for the Preakness Stakes. . .
1 Aikenite
2 Schoolyard Dreams
3 Pleasant Prince
4 Northern Giant
5 Yawanna Twist
6 Jackson Bend
7 Lookin at Lucky
8 Super Saver
9 Caracortado
10 Paddy O'Prado
11 First Dude
12 Dublin
My detailed thoughts will come later, but here are my first impressions. . .
Poor Dublin. He draws gate seventeen in the Derby and gate twelve in the Preakness. I love this colt and would love to see him win a Triple Crown race, but can he do it from the far outside? We'll see.
Super Saver got a pretty nice gate. He should be able to turn in a winning traffic-free performance from there.
Jackson Bend is in the perfect position for him to set the pace. If he goes to the front, he might get very brave and hand on for the win.
Defeated Derby favorite Lookin at Lucky got an excellent post position, and I'm sure that Bob Baffert is pleased. Caracortado is in a good place, and Schoolyard Dreams is in the perfect spot.
Pleasant Prince and Northern Giant will not be favored, but both should be watched.
It's going to be a great race!
