I DO NOT OWN THE AUDIO! Sooo here are my predicitions for the preakness and belmont stakes. :)
Todd Pletcher caught up with ShopToEarth Founder Pat Welsh on Friday, May 14, 2010. Trainer Todd Pletcher watched Derby winner Super Saver on Friday morning as the Preakness favorite toured Pimlico. Pletcher prefers letting his horses have more time between races, but the Triple Crown series is different. 36th Kentucky Derby finished sweeter than a mint julep for ShopToEarths Tracy Pletcher, wife of Todd Pletcher, trainer of the aptly named derby-winning colt Super Saver. ShopToEarth congratulates Tracy and Todd on their Kentucky Derby victory! Winning the Kentucky Derby felt very surreal. Im not sure it has sunk in yet, Tracy said. We are so happy for the entire Pletcher Team that works so hard all year long with the horses. The Pletchers and Super Saver will return to the track at the Preakness Stakes on May 15, when the second leg of the Triple Crown is run at Pimlico in Baltimore, MD. ShopToEarth will be watching as Super Saver looks to become the first Triple Crown winner since Secretariat www.shoptoearthnews.com

this is a contribute to Barbaro. Barbaro won the Kuntucky derby in 06. The preakness he went down. The lamiiness isthe cause of his death. When he went down he was transported to Pennsalvanya University of vet med. if he didn't go down everybody said that he could win the triple crown. If you watch when Barbaro ran in the preakness the one horse clipped heels and cuased him to go down. He is a Legend that will live in our hearts for ever. He will never be forgotten. He will live on. Here is a famouse saying for what happens: "A door closes, another opens" a poem a few of us Barbaro fans wrote: "All are silent, no word is spoken, Merley a galactive sigh, and to that gallent heart unbroken, we finally say.... Goodbye.... Barbaro..." April 29th, 2004 - January 29th, 2007

As the gate opened for the Preakness, Knight Landing, breaking from the inside post, sprinted to the front and raced through an opening quarter in :23[3/5], honest enough, and the half in :47[4/5]. Colonel Moran tracked him around the turn, squandering nothing, while Codex, a 5-2 shot, stalked them both. Genuine Risk lay sixth the first quarter, then moved to fourth around the turn and into the back-stretch. Nearing the far turn, she bob-bled for an instant but collected herself at once and dug in again. And there the real running began. Sweeping into the turn, Codex and the Colonel pounced all over Knight Landing, who excused himself, and Cordero, sensing his colt was ready, let him roll. Codex left the Colonel, opening sudden daylight, but now the filly was taking aim as they raced midway through the turn. She swallowed the Colonel as she swept the bend. Then she set sail for Codex. He was running strongly on the lead, several feet out from the rail. And now the filly was coming to him. A roar went up. She charged outside of Codex, to his flank, and as she came to him, Cordero looked over and saw her. Codex drifted off the turn. The horses brushed. "He kind of got spooked from the crowd along the rail and all the screaming," Cordero said. "I was there before the filly came to me. I don't think I carried her out. I couldn't. She's very heavy." Cordero, lashing his whip, might have caught her once in the head. By the time they straightened out, her run had ended, and the ...

This video is about three race horses who have majorly touched and inspired me. All clips are in grayscale becuase they have all passed on and the only thing we have left are memories. Grayscale represents memories. The three horses are Barbaro, Seabiscuit, and Ruffian. The title comes from New Moon.

www.horse-racing-odds.com recaps the 2009 Preakness Stakes race. Click this site to bet on horses.
The 2009 Preakness Horse Race. 134th Preakness.
PLEASE SUBSCRIBE Rachel Alexandra was first and the Kentucky Derby winner 2 weeks ago, Mine That Bird, came in second. calvin Borel rode Rachel Alexandra while Mike Smith rode Mine That Bird. The new owner of Rachel Alexandra will possibly breed her with Curlin, two super horses that will make a special foal.
Calvin Borel made the right choice and history was made May 16 at Pimlico, when for the first time, the Kentucky Oaks (gr. I) winner not only ran in the Preakness Stakes (gr. I) but won the race in convincing fashion. Rachel Alexandra won the middle jewel of the Triple Crown by a length over Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands (gr. I) winner Mine That Bird. The week following her win in the Oaks, Rachel Alexandra was purchased by Jess Jackson and Harold McCormick and transferred from trainer Hal Wiggins to Steve Asmussen. Borel, who had ridden both Rachel Alexandra in the Oaks and Mine That Bird in the Derby, was asked to continue riding the filly and he agreed. Mine That Birds trainer, Chip Woolley, picked up Mike Smith on the Derby winner. It made for one of the most intriguing Preakness Stakes ever, and after drawing post 13, Borel knew he would have to send the filly from the outset, which he did. Big Drama, under John Velazquez, who had the rail, was an obvious pacesetter and he went with the filly as the field went down the stretch the first time and through the first turn. They went the opening quarter in :23.13 and the half in :46.71. Borel was able to open up just a bit on the backstretch but he had used the daughter of Medaglia dOro a great deal to get the lead and knew he had to try and slow the pace a bit. "I was comfortable early, but down the backside they started to pick it up," Borel said. Big Drama, who had skipped the Derby, was still in second down ...
