Only Two Derby Horses Possible for the Preakness
by T.O. Whenham - 05/07/2008
Normally at this time of year we are getting ready to watch at least a small handful of horses that ran in the Kentucky Derby try again in the Preakness. That's clearly not the case - Derby winner Big Brown is the only horse confirmed for a trip to Baltimore, and Recapturetheglory is the only other horse that is even under consideration. If those other horses aren't going to the Preakness then what are they going to do? Here's a look:

Many Positives for Big Brown to Win Triple Crown
by T.O. Whenham - 05/07/2008
Can Big Brown win the Triple Crown? I sure hope so. We haven't had a Triple Crown winner since Affirmed pulled it off, and I am pretty desperate for one. For the past couple of decades I have suffered a mini-breakdown every time the Derby winner has lost on the trail and it's not pretty, so I am sure that all the people who know me well are even more hopeful than I am. Every year at this point in the process I am convinced that this is the year that the heartbreak ends (except for when Giacomo won - he didn't stand a chance), so it doesn't mean much when I say that I like the chances this year.

Preakness Big Brown's Race to Lose
by T.O. Whenham - 05/07/2008
We can learn a little bit about the second leg of the Triple Crown from re-watching the first leg, but not much. What we can see is that Big Brown is a total and utter freak who should have no trouble with the distance of the Preakness or the field (pretty much regardless of who is in it). What we can't see from the Derby, though, is how any of the other Preakness horses might perform. That's because, in a dismal development, it seems likely that Big Brown will be the only one of the 20 horses in the Derby field who is going on to the next race.

2008 Preakness Picks
After the dominating performance by Big Brown in the Kentucky Derby, expect all the news to focus on him. This horse will be the clear cut favorite in the Preakness and one would have to like him better at the shorter distance. This field will feature numerous newcomers because as it stands now there will only be one holdover from the Kentucky Derby besides the champion.
