So far one horse has come back to run off the dead turf rail on Preakness Day. Copinaway ran Saturday in $75K stakes at 1 1/2 miles on the turf at GP and ran 7th at 7/1. Seemed to be the speed and really did not flash any - never looked in contention while a 50/1 shot wired the field. So far those returning from that day that ran on the turf rail are 1-0-0-0. There are two entered this weekend:

Here is a list of horses that spent a significant amount of time on or near the rail while running on the turf on Preakness Saturday. This was not the place to be that day, so take a closer look at these when they run back. I watched each turf race a couple of times noting if they spent a considerable amount of time on the straights as this is not indicated in the TG data so you will see a few ho

Given there is not much speed inside of him, I imagine he will get a nice trip fairly close the rail. At some point he will have to find a seam, but I thought he drew well.

Not too surprising about McLaughlin and Clement in terms of performances as coming in this year they were 31-2-3-2 and 26-0-5-2 in Breeder's Cup races respectively. Casse upped his record significantly as he was 23-0-2-2 coming into this weekend. Sadler had arguably the worst record coming in as he was 35-0-2-6 in Breeder’ Cup races while McPeek was 25-0-5-8. That mostly tells me how tough i

Paolo is correct as they start at the end of the turn and claimed they do not have the needed room for the start if there were 14 horses.

Because if 95% of the horses were from posts 1-4, that would not be very good would it? If there were 10 horses in every race, it would make more sense in general. Or if 80% of the favorites were from those posts that would not look so hot either. In addition, I think you need you have to consider the gate number versus the post position - they are not the same thing. If there is a full field of

I do not think either of these directly answers your question, but here are two interesting stats for Pletcher. I found his Kee stats since 2010 and contrasted that with his overall Breeder’s Cup record.
At Kee since 2010: 248-67-37-24 (27% win, 52% in the money)
At the Breeder’s Cup: 108-7-12-13 (6% win, 30% in the money)
His Kee stats are for all horses, not just shippers. While Pletch

I was able to use Xpressbet today, but had issues Saturday and missed most of the Dmr card. Was not glued to it, but logged in at various times throughout the day (Sunday 8/23) with no problem.

Does TVG still charge 25 cents per wager or $19.95 per month if you do not wager enough money (I think they waive fees at $2500 wagered per month)? They also used have a streaming fee if you do not wager high enough amounts. It used to be if pay a flat rate of $19.95 per month you are good to go, but that is pretty big bite if you are not putting a lot of money through the wickets. I am not sure

Denied the chance to bet Upstart in the Preakness, I may have to go with similarly named "Old Upstart" in the finale just to get my fix in.

When I looked at at the chart for the Kentucky Derby, I was surprised Materiality went off at $11.50/1. When I bet him I was fairly certain he had drifted up to 14/1 from 13/1 without too much time to post. Since the telecast at the facility I was watching refused to show the odds during the race (and likely that was true for all feeds), I am not sure when he was bet down. Did he get significan

I saw the same thing, the other horse was under a pretty tight hold. If you follow the gallop out, Bolo was repassed by the workmate and shut down pretty quick. A decent work, but not a sole reason to bet Bolo.

Maker’s Record on Oaks and Derby Days Only 2010-2014
I looked at Maker’s record at CD on Oaks and Derby days only for the last 5 years. In that time, Maker was 38-5-2-0 (13.1% win and 18.4% in the money) for $530,326. In terms of just looking at wins and losses, his best year was 2013 where he was 6-2-2-0 and his worst one was the most recent where he was 9-0-0-0 (see below). Compare that to h

The list of horses that can be sent if they connections wanted to do that is long, especially depending on the post. Besides American Pharoah and Bolo as discussed, Dortmund, Materiality, El Kabeir, Upstart, Firing Line, Stanford and Mr. Z all come to mind, but there are certainly others. The two most likely to go right now in my mind without looking at the posts are Stanford and Mr. Z.

One of the more interesting aspects of this Derby is that many horses seem to have tactical speed, but none seem hell bent on the lead. Given that Bolo’s breeding suggests he can handle the trip, that he supposedly hates dirt in his face, the lack of confirmed front runners in the race, the fact that he showed speed on the turf early in his career, that the CD surface has been somewhat kind to tu

Materiality = Dunkirk?
I know they are different horses running in different years, but because it was noted, the similarities are there. Pletcher trained Dunkirk and he currently trains Materiality. Here is a brief summary of the running lines for each. (Date Distance Race Finish-Lengths Beyer):
