While one could certainly envision ways in which the unbeaten Click or tap here to go straight to TDN Europe. juvenile champion could be upset, most of those knocks fail to withstand serious scrutiny. Argument #1: There is an abundance of early speed signed on here, and Nyquist tends to race on or near the lead. With six other rivals having been in the first or second position at the first call of their respective last races, the Preakness is almost certain to feature a very quick early tempo. But Nyquist is not a need-the-lead type, as evidenced by his Eclipse-clinching victory in the Oct. 31 GI Breeders= Cup Juvenile. The Reddam Racing colorbearer was as far back as eighth early behind a crowded pace in that affair, and was even several spots behind now deep closer and familiar foe Exaggerator (Curlin) before kicking into gear and besting that one=s stablemate Swipe (Birdstone). Exaggerator was fourth. Argument #2: Two weeks between the Derby and Preakness is a short turnaround. While higher-class horses in the modern era rarely return in two weeks, note that there was only a 19-day gap between Nyquist=s wins in last September=s GI Del Mar Futurity and GI FrontRunner S.

FEATURE PRESENTATION • GI PREAKNESS S.

Preakness S. cont. from p1 Plus the two-week gap was no issue for any of the last four winning Derby favorites--Big Brown (Boundary) (2008), California Chrome (Lucky Pulpit) (2014) and American Pharoah (Pioneerof the Nile) (2015). Trainer Doug O=Neill has also proven plenty adept at keeping a Derby winner in form for two weeks-- Reddam=s I=ll Have Another (Flower Alley) earned a significant Beyer Speed Figure top of 109 when completing the Derby/Preakness double in 2012. AHe was pretty good before the Derby and he=s pretty good now,@ O=Neill told the Pimlico notes team. AHe had five weeks to prepare from the Florida Derby to the Kentucky Derby. This is a quick turnaround. He=s showing all signs that he=s as good as ever.@

Argument #3: There=s wet weather in the forecast, and sloppy tracks sometimes yield surprising results. Nyquist has never raced on a muddy or sloppy surface, but the Gulfstream ground was labeled Agood@ when he aired in the GI Xpressbet.com Florida Derby Apr. 2. His dam also never tried a wet strip, but sire Uncle Mo earned a gaudy 118 Beyer Speed Figure for his win in the 2011 GII Kelso H. over a muddy Belmont strip. Cont. p4

GI Kentucky Derby - After seeing the early splits and watching GI Kentucky Derby - I got higher and higher on Outwork as he him begin to wind up entering the far turn, I thought Creator got completely lost on the tote, but I guess everyone else knew was going to come with a really big run in the stretch.

Total: $1862.50. here, and I suppose the track condition adds another wrinkle, but I=m with the rest of the world in thinking Nyquist (Uncle Mo) GI Xpressbet.com Preakness S. - I=m fairly shocked that and Exaggerator (Curlin) will run one-two.
