    So, they do drug test tho? Is it a they don't test before, but do after?

    Kentucky is the most lax jurisdiction when it comes to drug testing

    so guessing this was not good if he’s having a press conference in half an hour

    Just looked and I had (2) $1 trifecta wager that had 7-9-14 and a $2 exacta with 7-9. Is there a ballpark estimate input in what those would’ve paid out? I know it’s contingent on the bet pool, but wasn’t sure if there was an easy way to get a decent idea.

    Wait, if Baffert admitted Medina Spirit was treated with a banned substance then why does he still get to race in The Preakness?

    Do Jockeys get drug tested? Bob probably has him on the proper regiment now.

    I was at a wedding in Orlando back in March. A bunch of people went to a bar after the wedding party and I struck up a conversation with a guy there. Said he was from Ocala. Horse trainer of course. I asked him, "So Baffert cheats right? He has his horses on roids?"

    Guy just let out an uneasy laugh and didn't say anything. That was enough for me.

    I don't plan on playing the undercard since I'll be working all day tomorrow. But here are my Preakness thoughts:

    Of the two Baffert's, I definitely prefer Medina Spirit (3) over Concert Tour (10). Baffert horses coming out of the Derby to the Preakness fair much better historically than his new shooters (insert Baffert joke here), and frankly Medina Spirit has just run better races than Concert Tour has. His failure to hold on to 2nd in the Arkansas Derby is a giant red flag to me, and going longer doesn't seem better for him. And that Arkansas Derby is the only time he has faced any adversity. If Concert Tour finishes in the top 2, I will lose. Maybe I could use him in 3rd or 4th in supers, but that is about it.

    Midnight Bourbon (5) seems like the logical alternative to the two Baffert's, but he seems like he is everybody's wise guy horse, and the way things are going, he may go off as 2nd choice to Medina Spirit (as of a couple hours ago, he actually was the early betting favorite). He should be more forwardly placed than he was in the Derby, but I don't think he's as quick as either Baffert horse is. If both him and Medina Spirit are going to be close in price, I'll take Medina Spirit over him pretty comfortably.

    My goal is to try and get one of these two longer shots into the exotics: Risk Taking (9) and France Go de Ina (7). Risk Taking disappointed in the Wood Memorial as the favorite, finishing 7th. He didn't exactly get off to the smoothest of starts that race, but beyond that I didn't think he had a poor trip...he just didn't fire that day for whatever reason. I was a big fan of his coming into and out of the Withers, which he won easily against admittedly a mediocre field. He's one of the few horses where I think going longer will help him in this race, and he's been working well coming into the race. If you can look past his Wood Memorial, I think there is a fair amount to like with him, and his non-effort in the Wood will make him a much more appealing price. I'm not sure how good France Go de Ina is, to be honest. He did have a troubled trip in the UAE Derby, breaking slow and then getting caught in traffic a bit before finishing a non-threatening 6th. He has shown that he can placed a little more forwardly based on his Japanese races, but this is a whole different ball game from a pace perspective. I guess this is more of a "I know what these other horses are, and I'm not interested in them" kind of opinion. He needs to break well, but if he can accomplish that, I'd rather roll the dice at getting him in the number at what may be the longest odds on the board than I would on horses like Unbridled Honor (8), Rombauer (6), or Keepmeinmind (2).

    One final horse to touch on would be Crowded Trade (4). I don't love him, as I have serious distance questions with him as well, and of the two Chad Brown horses, I prefer Risk Taking. I could maybe see using him in 3rd/4th in supers, but that would be the extent of my interest in him, and even that is limited.

    Overall, I have a hard time finding the alternative to beat Medina Spirit, and will lean on him on top pretty heavily in my exotics.

    Preakness selections:
    1. Medina Spirit (3) 9-5
    2. Risk Taking (9) 15-1
    3. Midnight Bourbon (5) 5-1
    4. France Go de Ina (7) 20-1

    Based off of the Black Eyed Susan-Preakness Double will pays, Medina Spirit is the 3rd choice. For a $2 Double, Midnight Bourbon would pay $46.80, Concert Tour would pay $59.60, and Medina Spirit would pay $64.

    I have trouble seeing him not being bet more than Concert Tour at the end of the day, but it seems like it's a realistic scenario that Midnight Bourbon is the favorite, and that is just dumb.

    if Hozier runs up the track in the Ske Barton in an hour it might be even more on Medina
