7 Bodemeister 8-5 PLACE

5 Went the Day Well 6-1

6 Creative Cause 6-1 SHOW

*Best bet R11 the 4 Straight Story is the controlling speed, with Ramon riding wire to wire threat.

Preakness I'll Have Another 3 for 3 in dirt routes, sits just off of Bodemeister and pulls away in the stretch. Bode will be gunning early again should be able to hold on for 2nd. Went the Day Well seems to be improving and should rally for 3rd. Creative Cause always fires, though not sure he is fast enough to beat these. He was my Derby pick and I am bailing.

Cheers!
