Yep, Made a $100 on Street Sense in the Kentucky Derby, also liked Hard Spun, but that didn't happen.
Street Sence had incredible run coming in from the 19 position. I wonder if that's happened before in a major race?

Since 1909, the Preakness Stakes post position with the most wins is 6 (15 wins) and the second most wins is 4 (12 wins). positions 10 and 11 are tied for last place (2 wins each).
The record margin of victory in the Preakness Stakes was set by Smarty Jones in 2004, when he won by 11 1/2 lengths. He appeared to be the next Triple Crown champion but lost the Belmont Stakes to Birdstone by a length.
The stretch at Pimlico Race Course is so short (1,152 feet) that winning moves usually come on or before the final turn rather than deep in the lane, which places a premium on nimble, quick horses.
The most common color of the winning horse at the Preakness Stakes is bay (69 winners), followed by chestnut (43 winners). Silver Charm, the 1997 winner, created a new category-gray/roan.

I quess the winnings from the Preakness will end up in the same lawsuit that the owner is in. He robbed over 20 million from the Phen-Phen class action suit, he has been dis-barred and can no longer practice law. Welcome to the world of Thoroughbred Racing. Look it up, Shirley Allen Cunningham is the owner, One of the most crooked people around these parts.
