~~
Very fast, very, very fast.
~~
He’ll be drag racing of the front end.
~~
We are most particularly fond of his Maternal Grandmother, Wedding Jitters.
~~
After all, who could not like a horse called:
~~
Wedding Jitters?
~~
Remember them, when you were young yourself, waking one morning after a thoroughly drunken, now very painful, escapade to find yourself looking in the glass and seeing, staring back at you, a terrible case of the:
~~
Wedding Jitters?
~~
Later in the season, with more seasoning, Social Inclusion will be something to contend with indeed at the Spa up at Saratoga.
~~
We think he’s a bit short to win here as he’s not raced much at all, only 3 times in all, but he is bred classy, light, swift and spot on fast and he will be in the fight as long as he can go.
~~
Social Inclusion is:
~~
A
~~
Very honest horse.
~~
That said, do this:
~~
Bet exacta 3-8, The Champ, California Chrome
………….Over…………
The Young Gun, Social Inclusion, in a one way $2 exacta bet, or any multiples of $2, in the 2014 Preakness Stakes and you ought to get $8 return for each $2 wagered…. and perhaps more.
~~
Bon Chance!!!!
~~
The Preakness Stakes post positions and official odds are out, revealing an overwhelming favorite separated from the field of challengers.
To the surprise of no one, California Chrome has by far the best odds to win at Pimlico. After a dominant performance to win the Kentucky Derby, Chrome proved that no other three-year-old horse racing today can match his combination of pure speed and experience on the track; the victory at Churchill Downs was Chrome’s seventh in 11 races.
2014 Preakness Stakes Post Positions and Odds Post Horse Jockey Trainer Morning-Line Odds 1 Dynamic Impact Miguel Mena Mark E. Casse 12-1 2 General a Rod Javier Castellano Mike Maker 15-1 3 California Chrome Victor Espinoza Art Sherman 3-5 4 Ring Weekend Alan Garcia H. Graham Motion 20-1 5 Bayern Rosie Napravnik Bob Baffert 10-1 6 Ria Antonia Calvin Borel Tom Amoss 30-1 7 Kid Cruz Julian Pimentel Linda Rice 20-1 8 Social Inclusion Luis Contreras Manny Azpurua 5-1 9 Pablo Del Monte Jeffrey Sanchez Wesley A. Ward 20-1 10 Ride On Curlin Joel Rosario William Gowan 10-1 HRTV
Those 3-5 odds aren’t just extraordinary in the context of the 2014 Preakness field; they’re historically special. Chrome is a heavier favorite to win this race than some of the greatest horses ever to compete at Pimlico have been.

He says out loud what many people think deep down, and what the politicians refrain from saying because they are either too demagogic or too chicken. Le Pen, with all his faults and qualities, is probably the only one who thinks about the interests of France before his own."~~ French actor~~Alain Delon

Hope springs eternal for a Triple Crown winner. It has been a very long dry spell. However, as a person who grew up with the incredible dry spell of the Red Sox, I can be patient!
Hope does spring. The colt sure looks powerful and prepared. Cross fingers. Look to the heavens above.
