Official Saturday 5/21 CM Track of the Week Thread - Pimlico

[smooth53_98]

Hey gang, we are down in Baltimore this weekend for the running of the Preakness. Sharpen your pencils and get ready for some scratches as the turf races are likely to be run over the main course (or maybe not!)... and post your picks here for the full day's race card and see if we will be rooting for another Triple Crown hopeful or not after this afternoon.

The Preakness will be on TV around 6 PM EST on NBC.

Good luck all!

Race 12 – 1-3/16mi – Preakness Stakes G1 3yo

5 Scrappy T 20-1
11 High Limit 12-1
7 Closing Argument 5-1
12 Afleet Alex 5-2

SCRAPPY T will appreciate a course that is not completely dry and likely favoring some speed, gets Dominguez in the irons here and he knows this course very well. The Kentucky Derby did not offer a great pace nor did any of the entrants turn out any remarkable efforts leaving this one wide open for a fresh new face with the ability to rate. HIGH LIMIT got jostled early in the Derby and was never a factor but will likely find himself out near the lead early here, not so sure he can hold it with pressure so figure he will be around late but may very well be out of gas by then. CLOSING ARGUMENT has had difficult starts in each of his last two outings which has left him short late having to go W-I-D-E and end up a little flat, pace here would suggest that this colt will be asked to go to the outside again and try to close down a much shorter stretch than at Churchill. AFLEET ALEX could have arguably run one of the best efforts two weeks ago will find himself having to settle for a pace that is likely a little faster than ideal for him here, distance is not the issue so much as the post and the trip he gets.

I had been backing Wilko for a while, but he just hasn't shown the improvement that was expected entering his 3 year old campaign... I might use him in a superfecta, but I just couldn't back him again here.

You are welcome bro, I hope we can make you some money today! I am heading out shortly to take my son to see his grandmother, otherwise I'd love to sit online all day and play the ponies! Going to phone a few bets in but otherwise I'll be watching the Preakness later on TV!
