Grey didn’t run in the derby because coach didn’t think he would get in. He had a horse ready to go and the Pat Day was the best option. Him saying he wants to go a mile (shorter) was just talk. Lukas knows he’s a classic distance horse and his pedigree screams it
I couldn't understand how having ran 2 weeks ago became the prevailing wisdom for horses we should fade. People have opinions horses have the facts is what the coach would say.
These two were against all horses coming off 2 weeks. When I brought up how many horses have done well they mocked me. He who laughs last laughs best😅😅
SWEET JESUS! Same as Derby.. I had top 3 finishers . Minus Mystic Dan.. and now minus ) Seize the Gray... From now on my pick 6.. or pick 5.. I'm.playing the entire dang field.. .. I think these solar flares are affecting the horses or the jockeys... I will say I knew Imagination wouldn't win.. or place.. that's all I will say about that.. I did great with prep races.. I have bombed in the Derby and now the Preakness.. and it's always by ONE horse . In my pick 6 or pick 5.. and I only pick one horse per race...it makes me insane... The selection of Jockeys for the Preakness i don't understand.. Why wasn't Jose Ortiz there.. Umberto? I didn't see Paco today.. yesterday I did.. William Buick.. why not with Appleby? There are so many Jockeys that I would have not had there this weekend.. people say." It's not the jockey.. it's the quality of the Horse".. uumm I disagree... If I had a NASCAR racing at Talladega and all the other NASCARs were at or close to the same caliber... Do I want a professional, experienced, aggressive driver that knows the track.. that has a high percentage of wins? Or Do I want a Jockey not as experienced, doesn't know that the track ( field) like the back of his hand, and can drive ( guide) that horse aggressively when needed without fear . It's a fit.. that horse feels fear.. and needs to trust his Jockey...so I don't understand these trainers who do not put the best Jockeys on these Horses.. ( machines).. The logic that I've heard" The jockey has nothing to do with it "... Well put me on a million dollar horse and see how it works out... I'm not mentioning names but we all know the Jockeys who are not consistent.. and in my opinion it does change the outcome of the race... Just my opinion..

I am happy for Coach Wayne!
All horses off 2 weeks rest. You guys were against all horses on 2 weeks rest. Good call
Son of arrogate won the Preakness. It's not surprising to me with Lucke's training.
Great run, big grey held them off the whole race and finished strong good stamina. Nice horse congrats to all the owners
