Isolation Thought

The running of the Preakness Stakes is today at Pimlico. Once again, it looks like rain in the forecast. I've rerun the Kentucky Derby in my head a million times and I think you have to include any combination of horses that ran in the Derby on your ticket: Lion Heart, Smarty Jones, Borrego, Imperialism. All have flaws, but so do the main newcomers Rock Hard Ten and Eddington. So, to make any $ with Smarty Jones, use him in exactas and trifectas, because he'll probably be 4-5 on the board. I see a potential rerun of last year's Preakness where Peace Rules was thought to turn the tables on Funny Cide and Funny Cide destroyed the field. Smarty Jones might do that today, but to be safe, include the others. A nice Borrego-Imperialism finish would pay very nicely.
