2008 Preakness
Can anybody beat Big Brown? Not likely so I'll wait, try to play the Preakness lightly, then beat Big Brown in the Belmont (he ain't going 1 1/2 miles).
I do like three horses underneath - 1 Macho Again, 6 Racecar Rhoapsody, and 10 Riley Tucker. All are fast now and were fast as 2yo. All are bred for the distance. All look ready to throw a big race. They can't beat the big horse but they'll fill out the exotics.

Key horses (the chalk):
9th race 3 Lantana Mob
10th race 4 Shakis
