Sunday May 20 Picks (Preakness recap)

Hello my racing fans,
Paddock girl is here,


My, my my... If there's one word to describe the Preakness Stakes is: excitement... that's all we had before and during the race this year. I'LL HAVE ANOTHER definitely had another!!!  Now all the eyes are on the Belmont, but wow, what a way to win this time, basically  repeating the same riding style from the Derby.

BODEMEISTER, who finished on second place again, was in the front the whole time, and just a couple of furlongs before the finish line, I'LL HAVE ANOTHER moved fast, very fast, just enough to win for one neck over Baffert's horse one more time.

CREATIVE CAUSE finished third this time, giving California three home-based horse and jockey winners.

The Pilmico racetrack looked very tight. Concerts (Maroon 5 very nice), special activities and, of course, great horse races took over the place yesterday during the 137th Preakness, being an enjoyable event for 121,300 fans who went to the Baltimore located racetrack.

And, not be point it out, but again we gave you the winners for this Preakness, just like we didi for the Kentucky Derby... Congratulations to all!!

   Fans in California were cheering for the O'Neill horse (I'LL HAVE ANOTHER) and for his rider Mario Gutierrez, not only because this is turning out to be a Cinderella's story, but also  is good to the business in this state and the now "future" Triple Crown winner has its home at Hollywood Park... which is where we're going now.
