We are currently five minutes away from the eighth race of the afternoon at Pimlico Race course. Later this afternoon, the 136th running of the Preakness Stakes (gr. I) will be run.
The weather is nice, the main track is fast, and the turf course is labeled good.
The winner's of the first seven races have been:
Race/Race Name(if Stakes)/Winner/Payout
1 Technique ($14.00)
2 No Brakes ($7.60)
3 Golden Causeway ($6.00)
4 (Dupont Distaff Stakes) Super Expresso ($24.20)
5 Toni's the Won ($10.20)
6 (Chick Lang Stakes) Vengeful Wildcat ($6.40)
7 (James W. Murphy Handicap) Chinglish ($19.60)
As you can see, there have been several high-priced winners today. Ramon Dominguez has ridden two winners, Golden Causeway and Super Expresso. He will be aboard Dance City in the Preakness Stakes.
The next race scheduled is the Maryland Sprint Handicap, where the 8-5 favorite is Ventana. Trained by Bob Baffert and ridden by Martin Garcia, the colt has been in fine form as of late and looks very tough to beat. China ought to present a good challenge though if the pace is quick up front.
My pick is Ventana. I shall post the results in a moment.
