\nThe Elite Racing Club visits Pimlico Racecourse in the city of Baltimore,\u00a0 Maryland for its rendition of the middle jewel of the Triple Crown series,\u00a0 the ERC Preakness Derby.\u00a0 Contested at the same conditions and distance as its famed namesake,\u00a0 a full field of fourteen three year olds,\u00a0 including four upset minded fillies,\u00a0 will battle it out to snag the winner’s share of the $100,000 purse up for grabs.\u00a0 The winning owner\/trainer will also grab the lion’s share of the stakes bonus points that determines a winner of the club’s Triple Crown contest.\u00a0 The dirt oval will be listed as “sloppy”,\u00a0 so the horses,\u00a0 the jockeys,\u00a0 and the bettors will need to deal with that.

\nLight grey colt comes off a fast closing 4th in the G3 Barbara Walters Special at a mile,\u00a0 scalding a 101 SP# from the rear of a full field.\u00a0 Son of Skipshot,\u00a0 out of the sim mare Kronosaurus (by Fusaichi Pegasus),\u00a0 got underway too late to have any impact in prior outing when 11th in the G2 Happy St Patricks Day at 7 panels,\u00a0 sticking a 93 SP# while always at the back of the pack.\u00a0 One before that he got up for the win in the Remember Morgado listed stakes at 6.5 furlongs,\u00a0 slashing a 91 SP#\u00a0 in a five horse affair.\u00a0 Runner from the larrcamp<\/strong><\/em> racing stables should appreciate the extra distance here and gets a contested pace to close into;\u00a0 handicapper doesn’t dismiss his chances at 8\/1 on the morning line.

\nProtecting the rear guard out of the paddock is the other part of the newfydowns<\/strong> <\/em>entry,\u00a0 who exits a front running score in a restricted allowance at a mile and a sixteenth on the weeds,\u00a0 throwing an 88 SP# in a facile victory.\u00a0 Almanzor athlete,\u00a0 out of the sim mare All Eyes On Sarra (by Pulpit),\u00a0 tired to 5th in his prior start in a restricted maiden at 9 furlongs,\u00a0 also on the grass,\u00a0 tacking an 83 SP# after making the early fractions.\u00a0 Big bay colt faltered to 8th one back of that in a restricted allowance at a mile on grass,\u00a0 tabbing a 73 SP# .\u00a0 Recent maiden winner looks outclassed in this group,\u00a0 but could play a part in the early stages of the race;\u00a0 handicapper holds him as the longest shot on the board at 34\/1 odds.
