Preakness Possibilities or who is running for 2nd?

Horses pointing for the 131st Preakness at Pimlico on May 20. The field will be limited to 14

Possible entrants
Bob and John B. Baffert G. Gomez 17th, Ky. Derby

Point DeterminedB. Baffert R. Bejarano 9th, Ky. Derby



It sounds like a small field so traffic shouldn't be a problem and it doesn't look like it is going to set-up with a lot of speed. Considering this is Barbaro's backyard, I am not really going out on a limb here by saying he should take this race easily. I think the handicapping trick in the Preakness will be picking who will place and show.

Mr Joe,

As a member of the Like Now fan club, I take exception to the presumption that Like Now can't spring the upset, REMEMBER THE GOTHAM !!
