    I'll Have another is shipping to Pimlico today to start preparing for the Preakness. Would like to see a Triple Crown winner this year. It would help the sport. Union Rags probably will wait for the Belmont, and Bode/Creative Cause/Hansen are likely to run in the Preakness.

    Some did and some didn't.

    Dan Shapiro of Lucky’s said the only losers for his company’s future book would be Union Rags, Hansen, I’ll Have Another, and Creative Cause.

    “We got hit at 200-1 on I’ll Have Another well before he even won the Robert B. Lewis,” Shapiro said. “Someone in Southern California knew something.

    “Bodemeister wouldn’t be great, but he’s still a small winner for us.”

    Avello said his losers would be Union Rags, Dullahan, Hansen, and El Padrino.
    I would bet that more books had winning futures than losing futures on the derby.

    No horse has done it since 1978 so it's unlikely. I'll Have Another got a 101 Beyer for his derby score. Can see him winning the Preakness, but the Belmont will be a tall order.

    Only a 101? Wow. I would have given him at least a 105. I don't think Animal Kingdom would have beaten I'll Have Another, and he got a 103 or 104 for a race with a much slower pace.

    Yeah, Animal Kingdom ran the race in 202:04 and I'll Have Another in 201:83. Don't remember what Animal Kingdom's beyer was.

    The track was like lightning fast this year where last year it was a step above quicksand .
