JUSTIFY VERSUS THE TOTE FRIDAY=S PREAKNESS REPORT: EARLY MORNING GALLOP FOR JUSTIFY IN PREAKNESS 143? by Steve Sherack BALTIMORE, MD B Taking no chances with more wet weather on its way Friday, Hall of Fame trainer Bob Baffert sent out his unbeaten GI Kentucky Derby winner and >TDN Rising Star= Justify (Scat Daddy) to train in the dark shortly before daybreak at soggy Pimlico at 5:30 a.m. Owned in partnership by WinStar Farm, China Horse Club, Head of Plains Partners and Starlight Racing, Justify continues to show all the right signs since arriving in Baltimore, turning in another spirited and controlled gallop of 1 1/2 miles over the sloppy going. The strapping chestnut is the 1-2 morning-line favorite for Saturday=s 143rd renewal of the GI Preakness S.

But come 6:48 p.m. Eastern time late Saturday afternoon, the infield tote board will suggest that the 9 1/2-furlong test is strictly a one-horse affair. So just how low will Justify go--pari-mutuelly speaking? While 2016 Derby hero Always Dreaming (Bodemeister) was off at 6-5 en route to an eighth-place effort behind Cloud Computing (Maclean=s Music) last year at Old Hilltop, the previous four Derby winners were each backed into long odds- on favoritism, though two of those ultimately proved to be money burners. Nyquist (Uncle Mo) was bet down to 7-10 in 2016, but Exaggerator (Curlin) took advantage of his superior wet-track form en route to a 3 1/2-length victory as the favorite weakened to third. Many would forget that future Triple Crown hero American Pharoah (Pioneerof the Nile) returned a seemingly generous $3.80 in powering home through the off going to score by seven lengths in 2015, while at 1-2, California Chrome (Lucky Pulpit) ranks as the most heavily backed Derby winner since Big Brown (Boundary) sailed home at 1-5 in 2008.

Preakness 143 cont. from p1 Orb (Malibu Moon) was 70 cents on the dollar in 2013, but he never really truly reached contention and checked in a well- beaten fourth. Excepting the ill-fated Barbaro a dozen years ago, other Derby winners rolled at odds-on in the Preakness over the last 3 1/2 decades include Fusaichi Pegasus (second to Red Bullet at 3-10 in 2000); Easy Goer (runner-up at 3-5 to Sunday Silence in the epic 1989 Preakness); Swale (seventh to Gate Dancer in 1984 at 4-5); and Linkage (second to Aloma=s Ruler as the 1-2 chalk in 1982). Heavily favored though he will be, Justify is not likely to attract the same support as Count Fleet (1943), Citation (1948), Native Dancer (1953), Nashua (1955) or Secretariat (1973), each of whom won the Preakness at odds of 3-10 or less, and in the case of Count Fleet, 15 cents on the dollar when taking home the middle leg by eight lengths en route to that year=s Triple Crown. His price will be too skinny for many to swallow Saturday afternoon, but barring an upset, Justify should be able to continue his assault on the 2018 Triple Crown.

Friday=s Preakness Report cont. from p1 Baffert looked on with WinStar=s Elliott Walden by the gap as Justify splashed his way past the illuminated grandstand. The pair, of course, have their share of history as rivals, too. Walden famously spoiled Real Quiet=s Triple Crown bid for Baffert back during his training days with Victory Gallop in 1998. Trainer Rodolphe Brisset, former longtime assistant to Bill Mott, had a smile on his face as he entered the track aboard >TDN Rising Star= Quip (Distorted Humor). The GII Tampa Bay Derby winner and GI Arkansas Derby runner-up had a nice bounce in his step as he jogged the wrong way before turning around and galloping a mile. Brisset briefly had Justify in his shedrow at Keeneland last fall before he shipped out to join Baffert=s stable in Southern California. Half of the eight-horse field assembled for the Preakness had completed their final preparations by 6 a.m. Friday, including the D. Wayne Lukas-trained pair of >TDN Rising Star= Sporting Chance (Tiznow) and Bravazo (Awesome Again), who were both out for light exercise. Lukas and Baffert have both won the Preakness six times trailing only Robert Wyndham Walden with seven. Cont. p4

Scoring the first two wins of her career on turf, the dark bay finished fifth in her sophomore bow in Gulfstream=s GIII Sweetest Chant S. Feb. 3, but rebounded with a two-length success in the GIII Bourbonette Oaks in her first try on a synthetic surface at Turfway Mar. 17 for trainer Mike Maker. Woodbine-based conditioner Catherine Day-Phillips sends out a strong contender for the home team in Dixie Moon (Curlin), who finished sixth behind Rushing Fall (More Than Ready) in the GI Breeders= Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf Nov. 3. Taking the state- bred Ontario Lassie S. by a nose a month later, the chestnut was last seen finishing ninth to Rushing Fall over a yielding course in Keeneland=s GII Appalachian S. Apr. 8.

She kicked off this term with a head second in Aqueduct=s Mizdirection S. Apr. 15 and should improve off that effort here. Brattata hit the board in her first four outings, but did not earn her diploma until her fifth try going 7 1/2 furlongs at Gulfstream Feb. 4 and was a respectable third last time behind MGSW Thewayiam (Fr) (Thewayyouare) in the GIII Herecomesthebride S.

WHAT DO FOBT CUTS MEAN FOR RACING? EASY CUP RETURN Op/Ed by John Berry FOR STRADIVARIUS It appears likely that British racing will shortly receive a stiff reality check following the government=s decision to reduce the maximum stake on Fixed Odds Betting Terminals (more colloquially known as slot machines or one-armed bandits) from ,100 to ,2. Storm clouds have been brewing for many years as the nation's betting habits have been changing, but the FOBTs have been shielding British racing's little corner of the world from the worst of the chill winds. That seems likely to change in the near future. On May 1, 1961, Harold Macmillan's Conservative government legalised off-course betting, prompting the opening of around 10,000 betting shops. Initial, doomsday predictions had been that this might kill the sport as racecourse attendances would surely plummet. While it is true that the massive crowds which thronged British racecourses in the post-war years are a distant memory which Stradivarius and Frankie Dettori in full flight | Racing Post has largely gone forever, their decline was more than offset by the creation of the Horserace Betting Levy Board, authorized to He may have come up short against Order of St George (Ire) collect a slice of the betting turnover and pass it on to the sport (Galileo {Ire}) when third in the G2 QIPCO British Champions as compensation.
