Preakness Theories

Betting the horses in the Preakness is mindboggling but I am going to give my thoughts about how to make some money from this game. Bodemeister or I'll Have Another are the two most likely to hit the finish line first but they could be upset by either Creative Cause or Went the Day Well which would naturally be a surprise if it happened. I am sure that everyone is hoping that it will be the first two again copying many others of the past who have continued to be the exacta bet which could be atop a trifecta surprise...that monster trifecta has to have some surprise somewhere coming out of the blue from nowhere so there are several other horses that could find their way into the top three, Daddy Nose Best, Cozzetti, and Zetterhome or Tiger Walk. You never can tell when it comes to horse racing at who will come into the third, fourth, or fifth spots...and an old rule I continue to use is that favorites often come in fourth...that way the owner does get some money, which is what the game is about, and the bettor who realizes this can play a superfecta with some confidence. This is theoretically a way this race could go: Bodemeister, I'll Have Another, box those or reverse theme if you would for the top two, followed by Creative Cause or Went the Day Well who likewise can be boxed for the bottom tier and reversed...You could box all of them but that is pretty expensive when one can key them to one another, and for the high five, it is possible to play all if you have enough ready cash to spend carelessly and recklessly. The best way to finish the high five is to throw out the three horses which you know very well are way over their heads and not even bother with them at all. Usually the odds of 30 to 1 are the clue to which three horses to throw out...however, never forget that the shock and awe of a 30 to 1 shot has happened time and time again when least expected...that is why it pays so well when it wins...
