Markus,
Barbaro will be odds on, maybe a stick. The balance of the Triple Crown is his to lose.Early reports say he came out great and could run tomorrow, but thats "trainer speak" which should be ignored.
Bernadini(big time wise guy horse in NY) and Bro Derek seem to be his main obstacles in the Preakness. History tells to be wary of runners coming off one explosive performance.He looked and ran like a champion on derby day but has more to prove.Mucho accolades for Barbaro coming from all top horesmen and we all saw it too.Comparisons to Secretariat ridiculous at this point.
Don't know that I want to pick a fight with Barbaro right now.He did all sorts of things,derby speed figs, last quarter, etc that have not been done for a very long time.Not a great betting opportunity.
Mike
