    California Chrome should win,,,,but the other 3 horses I am boxing with him are general a rod, Ride on curlin, and kid Cruz
    That's 2,3,7,10 boxed every which way,,,,,,,,,

    Not a handicapper per se but always like the buzz surrounding the Belmont Stakes when the Triple Crown's still in play so I'm pulling for California Chrome at Pimlico. Good luck CBG.

    Some Preakness trivia: In 1890 Morris Park Racecourse in the Bronx, New York hosted the Preakness Stakes after which there was no race run for three years. For the 15 years from 1894 through 1908, the race was held at Gravesend Race Track on Coney Island, New York. In 1909 it returned to Pimlico.

    hey that was the same 4 I saw to box (contest I entered with "8 on tri box 2-3-7-10").

    I also bet Kid Cruz and Ride on Curlin W/P/S


    California Chrome with a shot at the Triple Crown, just one more to go!

    Yisman ,,,we never had a shot with kid Cruz and I really thought he would be close at the end , I bet him to place and show . The 2 just missed beating out the 8 for 3rd that would have been a real nice triple because the 2 went off at 19 to 1,,,,,oh well.
    Cy ya in a few weeks when we talk Belmont,,,,,ps looks like California chrome has a real good shot at the crown,,,,I'm rooting for him.

    yeah I watched and I see one horse like 50 lengths back right away. My heart sank when they said it was Kid Cruz.
