My Preakness View;
Although Point Given ran a poor race in the DERBY, he is My pick to WIN The Preakness. After looking at the race over and over I feel his post position was one factor, he's being to close to the front, a poor ride in My opinion and a possible bounce contributed to his luckluster effort. I do expect Point Given to give an all out effort for Baffert and I'm looking for Gary Stevens to give a much improved ride and bring him home first in The Preakness. Other Horses to watch are Monarchos with Chavez, Congaree with Bailey, A P Valentine with Espinoza and Dollar Bill with Day. I would watch out for either A P Valentine or Dollar Bill to be there at the finish this time. I know Bailey is riding Congaree but I think he might have a bounce and because he will be pushing right behind the Leaders but will lose ground with them in the Stretch. So My order of finish will be Point Given with Gary Stevens, Dollar Bill with Pat Day, Monarchos with J. Chavez and A P Valentine with Espinoza as My longshot.
GOOD LUCK WHATEVER YOU BET TODAY and HAVE A GREAT DAY AT THE RACES.
