Lookin at Lucky will NEVER be 14-18 lengths behind Super Saver at any point in the Preakness like he was in the Derby. Plus the post positions are even and Lookin is the better horse of the two. I will take Lookin at Lucky over Super Saver and Jackson Bend in the exactas. Lookin at Lucky over Super Saver / Jackson Bend / Paddy O Prado in the Tris. Won't pay much unless Jackson Bend can get second but usually when a bunch of nobody's come to the Preakness that did not run in the Derby then you end up with the better horses that finished in the Derby running 1-2-3in the Preakness. This is the case this year because none of the newcomers have any credentials to upset the top 4 out of the Derby. I still say Eskendereya is head and shoulders above all the other 3 years I have seen this year and it is a real shame he got hurt because he is THE REAL DEAL. History has shown that newcomers showing up in the triple crown races that did not run in the Derby do better in the Belmont as opposed to the Preakness. I think you need to run in the Derby and run decent to have a shot at the Preakness. With only 2 weeks between the two, what horse owner and trainer that has a horse good enough would bypass the Derby for the Preakness? Take the horses that ran in the Derby and leave out the rest.
