Time to get your Preak on for Stakes Saturday. It is Preakness Day.
Pimlico Race 13 {Preakness~G1~1 3/16 mile~3 year-old~Graded Stakes}
The top three finishers in the Kentucky Derby return to face each other in the second leg of the Triple Crown in a dynamite field of eight. This race comes up extraordinary speedy. It could mean that a couple of fellas that enjoy coming off the pace could reach out and grab a piece of the purse. Scattered T-storms and a 30% chance of rain could dampen the outcome, but Pharoah, having acquitted himself successfully in slop should still be on the trail for the Triple Crown.
#1 American Pharoah (Espinoza / Baffert) will be the odds on favorite, perhaps Americans favorite to win the Triple Crown this year. The KD 141 champ will be right on the pace as his stable mate, Dortmund, may wish to set it. He holds the highest last out speed number at the longer Kentucky Derby distance and has put in one sizzling bullet workout. This son of Pioneer of the Nile is out to make history.
$2 WIN.
#8 Firing Line (Stevens / Callaghan) is still coming into his own coming off a superb second place finish in KD 141. he holds the second highest last out speed number and has put in two robust workouts. This son of Line of David could sit right off the pace and enjoy eating up ground coming into the stretch. He could post a giant performance.
$2 PLACE / $3 SHOW.
#5 Tale of Verve (Rosario / Stewart) is coming off a maiden win at this exact distance at Keeneland. A son of Tale of Ekati, he should be in the hunt as the pace heats up. He holds the fourth highest last out speed number, a four race progression, and two hearty workouts. This lad could be the big surprise on Preakness Day.
$2 SHOW.
Other Contenders
#2 Dortmund (M. Garcia / Baffert) should be the pace setter, but the long and arduous Triple Crown Trail may tucker this guy out. He shares the third highest last out speed number and has put in two stellar peaking workouts. This son of Big Brown should compete nobly as he attempts to thwart history.
#7 Divining Rod (Castellano / Delacour) could be another surprise also coming off the third highest last out speed number, working a two race progression, and putting in three superb peaking workouts. This son of Tapit bypassed KD 141 in favor of this race. He is in fine form and will be forwardly placed seeking to grab a piece.

Stakes Saturday with a KD Prep
We race into January with an outstanding Kentucky Derby Prep race in wonderful New York.
Aqueduct Race 8 {Jerome~G3~1 mile70 yards~3 year-old~Graded Stakes}
This marks the first of the Kentucky Derby prep races for this years KD 141. We have a field of nine quality horses seeking the points required to get into the gate of twenty that will go off on that first Saturday in May. There is a ton of speed in this race which might set up nicely for one coming from off the pace. Most in here are coming off a brief freshening. As improving lads, the speed figs are relatively comparable. It should be a supremely exciting race.
#8 Nasa (Carmouche / Servis) has the running style versatility to get the job done. He holds the second highest (tie) last out speed number, a two race progression, and one solid workout. As a son of Smarty Jones, he will be stretching for this route. He relishes the dirt and is 100% in the money from four career starts.
$1 WIN / $2 PLACE / $3 SHOW.
#9 El Kabeir (Borel / Terranova) could be the one to beat, currently ranking number three on the Kentucky Derby prep list. He holds the highest speed number last out and at the distance. This guy is working a three race progression and has put in three powerful peaking workouts. This son of Scat Daddy will be showing speed from the outside post.
$1 PLACE / $2 SHOW.
#3 Tencendur (Rose / Weaver) should take another step forward in his second start. He holds the fourth highest last out speed number and has put in two quality peaking workouts. This son of Warrior's Reward will be tracking the pace and should it become explosive, he will take full advantage of it.
$1 SHOW.
Other Wagering Interests
#1 Mini Cosmo (Arroyo / Motion) is another stretching out seeking to continue his improvement. He holds the third highest (tie) last out speed number, a three race progression, and has put in one modest workout. This son of Unbridled Energy should have the fortitude to stay with these fellas to grab a piece of the purse pie.
#7 Ackeret (I. Ortiz / Rodriguez) should contend sharing the second highest last out speed number, working a two race progression, and putting in two superb peaking workouts. This son of Mach Ride should be tracking and closing swiftly in the stretch.
