Oh, would that I had gone to a simulcast outlet...

Funny Cide was my personal Bud Longshot and I got him the same way I got War Emblem, his Beyer speed figure.
But there are no super horses here. I give the Derby winner a 50/50 chance to repeat but the last I looked only 8-10 horses are going (and 5 have an honest chance)so racing luck will be less of a factor. Speed rules in the Preakness, and there is a lot of speed in this one.
Regarding Santos, I hope there will be some action against the reporter. He can't have been very knowledgeable because jockeys don't hold "buzzers" in their hands. They tape them to the forearm so they're covered by the silks. I think this reporter was irresponsible at the very least.
