We haven't got downloads yet, But I watched Grifinite workout, and he is
impressive. I think they are making him a longshot. Hmmmm.

Girffinite is the son of Unbridled Song. He had starting gate issues last month and actually in January was battling a vertebrae problem. He may surprise everyone. Once out of the gate he runs!

and one more thing. If track is wet (weather forecast calling for rain) he may not run well with that back problem.

I'm thinking of an Ernie for the preakness, with 3 Derby horses on top. The show
horses will need some work, but Grifinite will be one of them. I think we may
get a download today...I hope.

I got an email from a buddy who knows someone in NY who is very close to
the Pimlico scene who says this group of horses (Preakness) are not looking
good. The underground word is...go with Bailey! We know these Easterners
are never wrong! Don't you love rumors?

What do you think?

Thats great Tom. :) Easterner and from NY to boot.
Only thing I'll believe about Pimlico at this point is the PP is even more critical than at CD.
And look who drew to the outside again.

I believe Manarchos will not enjoy the track advantages he had in the derby and may even drop him to the place and sho pos in a triple. Like the Perkins/Wilson combo but don't know that they can run with these guys...will run him to show, maybe even place. I predict a nice payout...and interested in this horse Grifinite you're talking about. If he gets in the money should make for a nice ticket.
