  • Does anybody know if a Preakness field has been announced?

    Just wondering if there is a list of horses who are entered in to the Preakness. Thanks for any help. It is for a pool at work and i need to know how many horses are entered in the field. Is it 20?

    Have not seen anything yet Wayne. Field is usually 10-14. Lot of the derby horses don't come back.

        Rachel Alexandra will run and Borel will be on her. Mike Smith to pick up the mount on Mind that Bird.

        Racheal Alexendra will be in as long as there are less than 14 starters (she has to be suppplemented for $100,000 b/c she's not triple crown nominated).


        Racheal Alexadra (Borel) 2-1
        Pioneer of The Nile (Gomez) 9-2
        Mine That Bird (Smith) 6-1
        Friesen Fire (Saez) 8-1
        Musket Man (Coa) 12-1
        Papa Clem (Bejarano)12-1
        Big Drama (J. Velazquez) 15-1
        General Quarters (Leparoux) 15-1
        Conservative (TBD) 25-1
        Hull (mena) 25-1
        Take the Points (E. Prado) 25-1
        Flying Private (R. Albarado) 30-1
        Terrain (TBD) 30-1
        Tone it Down (TBD) 30-1

        Field won't be set till next wednesday, but it looks like it's gonna be a full field of 14
        Good Luck to everyone

          The same jockey that rode Mine that bird, won't be riding again in the Preakness? Why wouldn't he?

            Does this apply for the Belmont too? ... or no?

              Borel says he LOVES Rachael Alexandra.

              Cant always say it is that simple. There are contracts and long term ride priorities, etc.. So Borel had his choice, all the background we may never know all of it. There will be different versions as to the why's. Bettors will assume it is because he took the better horse but not always the case

                Papa Clem, Big Drama and Hull are worth a look at those prices, wow.

                  I guess i just assumed he (The Jockey) would try to ride him to a Triple Crown. Weird to me i guess. The way that horse was shot out of a cannon, you would think he would want another shot.

                    I know. But Rachael Alex is supposedly a VERY good horse. Won the Oaks going away.

                    Also, I also feel Borel chose RA because she is with a large barn and trainer that will keep the horses coming versus Mine that Bird small outfit.

                    Only four times has a Derby Winner gotten a new jockey and the last was 1945 and that was because the jockey needed an appendectomy. So it is weird

                        Racheal Alexadrea's only lose came after coming back in less than 3 weeks.

                        I like Musket Man and Papa Clem at those prices, but of course thease are not offcial odds.

                            Yeah, Rachel Alexandra's performance in the Oaks was one of the top 10 amazing sports moments I've seen. I've had to watch it on the DVR at least 8 times now. Just incredible. She should have a lot left in the tank for the Preakness too.

                            Remember, Calvin gets a % of the purse and he knows that RA has a better chance of some bigger money than Money That Bird. Not that it will definitely end up that way, but I would have made the same choice.
