GRADE 1 PREAKNESS STAKES, The Second Jewel Race 13
The Skinny: Sheets players will tell you that Mage's Kentucky Derby was a big move forward; it was, nearly 4 points on the Thoro-Graph scale and, of course, he returns on short rest. In his defense the line is tight, also he is lightly raced. Can he pair up? Yes. Can he bounce and win, yes. Can he bounce and withstand a forward move from 8-First Mission (5-2)? Maybe not, and that's why they run races. Both are good colts. The Derby winner could be something more. On balance, I see no reason why Mage shouldn't win the Run for the Black-Eyed Susans.
There appear two others that can be regarded serious contenders: 7-Blazing Sevens (6-1) and the speedy, pole sitting National Treasure (4-1). Main speed is always dangerous, but no one is going to steal this Preakness on the lead. Chad Brown has made it a fairly serious habit of winning this race, and Blazing Saddles has been pointed here specifically.
Form holds: 1. Mage. 2. First Mission. 3. Blazing Sevens. 4. National Treasure.
