The Preakness

[Old Arkansawyer]

The Preakness goes off within the hour. I sort of like Owendale
at 10 to 1 and Win Win Win at 15 to 1. May have to put a few
coin on these. Win Win Win has the best breeding but ran in
the Derby 2 weeks ago. We will know in an hour.

#9 dropped something...

I'm glad I didn't go all in on my picks.

I thought the riderless horse was going to catch up!

Did you hear he ran full steam another loop around the track? When they finally caught him he had a shamed look. I think he knew he was in trouble, but sorry he was caught, not sorry that he threw his rider and ran wild on national TV.

I thought he was going to win the race, trailing behind I was waiting for him to make his move.

Seemed to be enjoying himself.

In the early 90s I was at Remington Park in OKC when a horse
dumped the jockey, jumped two rails into the infield then crossed a small lake and finally was caught before jumping back
onto the track. I thought he was juiced.

In the early 90s I was at Remington Park in OKC . . .I thought he was juiced.

Nah—there could never be any illegal or underhanded activity at an Oklahoma horse track!!

Seeing the news this AM there is a handler (?) in the gate with the horse who looked very PO'd and disgusted with himself after the rider was dumped. Big fella in a black shirt. Maybe he had hold of the bridle when the gate opened?
I'll wager that much of the country like myself was rooting hard for Bode to at least place.
Glad the race finished with #9 not interfering.

Once the horses are all in the gate. BE READY, if you are not ready IT IS YOUR FAULT. That is horse racing. I enjoyed watching him run and gladthe reins did not come down and trip him up.

 

[ACORN]

Honestly now. How many were pulling for the horse to win?

 

[Old Arkansawyer]

I'm glad I didn't go all in on my picks.

After all was said and done, bet Owendale across the board and
just got my money back. Bet a little on Win Win Win to hit the
board and lost lost lost.

Its always been interesting but, now the "unknown factor" makes it fun. What is in store for The Belmont?

This is what I liked about the Preakness!

Bodexpress dumped jockey John Velazquez at the starting gate

and went on to finish the race!
Read about it here. Gotta love it.
