Preakness Day 12:43P

After considerable cogitation:

Animal Kingdom to win

Mr. Commons to place

Mucho Macho Man to place

I think AK is on a roll and in very good hands. I don’t think the pace (which should be fast) will affect him much.

Mr. Commons because of those three very fast 7 furlong works and John Shirreffs. He would not cross the country with this colt unless he expected to win.

Mucho Macho Man (I think) will get his legs together, but I think he’s second-best. Expect more from him later in the season.

Love Flashpoint but not at this distance.

Like Midnight Interlude, but Baffert has stated that AK is the best horse in the race.

Like Shackleford and 1/16 less works for him, but not today.

Love Dialed-In, but I think he doesn’t have the bottom.

Sway Away and Dance City aren’t good enough.

King Congie should run on grass.

Isn’t He Perfect is not.

Love Norman Asbjornson but not today.  Looking for more at Saratoga.

Concealed Identity? Who is he?

Astrology: respect his NY second but I think he’ll be short.
