Good observation! I must confess after testing something like 10 versions of SPEC for Guy the incremental screen was the one screen I never liked. It never seemed to jive with the Per screens etc at all, Gu and and myself had many a freindly argument over this, I never could get him to fix it. In the match up screen(#5) he dominates. However Ill just pass this race and watch:)

Bill,

As usual Great Job. I noticed when you were selecting Barbaros line, his derby speed rating was much higher than what I am seeing in SPECPA for Barbaro....

I think the tables will turn around today.Barbaro will bounce.Where did that race come from. Sweetnorthernsaint will run back to the haw race he ran.He got a pretty bad trip in the derby also.He was making a big move up the rail and had to check pretty bad .Desormeaux is not one of my favorite jockeys but when there is big money involved he gives a pretty good ride.I wish john velasquez was on him i would have more confidence in my bet.Believe me this is a serious horse.

I am out of practice but like Brother to hold off Sweet in a 2 horse race. I'm thinking BERN might bounce some off the great effort and going longer. I have no problem going against BARBARO but I also went against him 2 weeks ago. I sometimes can be stubborn. Brother was all over the SPEC Pre-race analysis having 4 of the first 5 sorted by TE. Bern has 1 and 6 but both were 8F. He may turn out to be the next Housebuster but I'm betting again him at long distances.

Ok Let me wager capp this race, #6 Barbaro did the dance last time so he gets the nodd, # 8 Bernardini I will use in my box and under, # 7 Sweetnorthernsaint had some trouble in last and again using in my box and under, # 1 Like now may be the speed and again I will include in my box and under in the tri. Brother Derek just needs drugs. So 6/871 & 871/6/871

An ugly scene
 

I bet Bernidini to win. Had to at 12/1, but not fun way to a race how sad but thats the ugly reality of this sport.

Too bad
 

what can you say

This is a very hard thing that we do then bad things like this happen

Well to all the great work those of you who went with # 8
Good Skill

congratulations
Bernardini
Your the champ for the Preakness:)

Although, unlike the Kentucky Derby here I boxed both the tri & exacta with the numbers in my post, and did not lose cash in the race, I really think it would have been better had Barbaro sustained a flesh wound in the gate when he broke through the first time making a scratch possible. The best days are when we cash, and everyone returns unhurt, safe, and sound.

Barbaro.. You are in my prayers tonight big fella...
