It is post time for the 9th race today at Pimlico, the $75,000 Miss Preakness Stakes. Currently, the favorite is Final Mesa at 4-5. Impressive winner of the Old Hat Stakes (gr. III) in January at Gulfstream Park, she will be making her first start since then but has been training very sharply.
Strike the Moon turned in an impressive performance last time out in an allowance race, and may have a chance at pulling off the upset. She will be ridden by J. Pimentel, and I believe that she can pull off an upset.
R Holiday Mood has made three straight starts in route races, and may benefit from the six furlong distance of today's race.
My picks are:
1 Strike the Moon
2 Final Mesa
3 R Holiday Mood
I shall post the results in a moment!
