The Preakness is tomorrow so I thought I’d put together a ticket for you guys. Trust me when I say that I’m not blowing smoke up your ass. It’s been documented that my ass cashes tickets. Just look at this $470 that I turned into $2,896.70 in the 2007 Kentucky Derby (PDF results chart).
But before I offer up my commentary, here are some predictions from other sites…
“Rachel Alexandra is an easy pick because she would have won the Derby if she ran.” – YepYep
“I’m taking ‘Mine That Bird’ My 2nd cousin (my aunt’s cousin), Stevie Cauthen, was the last jockey to win the triple crown on Affirmed. So if a horse is going to win it I’d love to see a long shot. It would be great for the sport.” – Cass from Fandome.com
“Rachel Alexandra… because I am all about the women…” – On 205th
“We predict drunken debauchery and exposed breasts in the infield. So confidant, we don’t need to be secretive about it” – Gunaxin
Now onto the good stuff. The gambling. We’ll save the T & A for Monday morning when there is a fresh batch of videos and pictures available.
This field is garbage. It’s probably the worst crop of three year olds I’ve ever seen in my day as a degenerate, and the only way Rachel Alexandra loses this race is if Calvin Borel pulls some celebratory bull shit in the home stretch which allows someone to pass Rachel Alexandra, or she pulls a Barbaro and give PETA another excuse to open their psychotic mouths.
We’ll the morning line on Rachel Alexandra is 8-5, but I wouldn’t be surprised if you see her go off at 6-5 given this field. So rather than trying to double your money, why not try to score a couple hundred bucks, or if you’re lucky something in the 4 figure range?
Here’s how I’m going to play it..
$1 superfecta 13 / 3,5,9 / 3,5,9 / 1,2,3,5,6,7,8,9,11
then I’ll play it back with …
$1 superfecta 13 / 3,5,9 / 1,2,3,5,6,7,8,9,11 / 3,5,9
Each ticket is $42, so it’s a grand total of $84. I would much rather play these two tickets than have a chance at basically doubling my money with a Win or a Win, Place, Show bet on Rachel Alexandra. So get 4 people together, each throw in $21 bucks and play these two tickets. If you hit, it’s free beers and lap dances on Saturday night. If you lose, I’ll let you continue to read this site for free.
P.S. If you’ve got deeper pockets, you could even play another ticket or two with Rachel Alexandra singled in the second and/or third spot.
Good luck.
