May 19th, 2012 − Pimlico Race Course
Preakness Stakes 2012
| PP | Horse / Sire | Track Odds | Watchmaker Odds | Best Beyer | Owner, Trainer, and Jockey | Derby Finish/Beyer | Jay Privman and Mike Watchmaker Comments |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Tiger Walk by Tale of the Cat |
30-1 | 30-1 | 90 |
Sagamore Farm I. Correas/R. Dominguez |
-- |
Jay Privman: Lone wins were against softer at Laurel. Decent effort in Wood, but top two flopped in Derby. Mike Watchmaker: Thought the first three in the Wood ran much better than him; out of his element in this spot. |
| 2 |
Teeth of the Dog by Bluegrass Cat |
15-1 | 15-1 | 93 |
Jose Singer M. Matz/J. Bravo |
-- |
JP: Lightly raced, plenty of upside, but doubt he's there just yet. Wood form not flattered in Derby. MW: His third in the Wood was okay. He fit better in the Peter Pan, but maybe for a tiny slice. |
| 3 |
Pretension by Bluegrass Cat |
30-1 | 30-1 | 83 |
Kidwells Petite Stable C. Grove/J. Santiago |
-- |
JP: Has benefit of a win over the track, but was soundly beaten two prior times in graded stakes. MW:His last was his best yet, but he is still about 15 lengths behind the best here; pass. |
| 4 |
Zetterholm by Silver Train |
20-1 | 30-1 | 85 |
Winter Park Partner R. Dutrow, Jr./J. Alvarado |
-- |
JP: Facing far better than he has in recent starts, but in good form, having won his last three. MW: His win streak was fashioned in the friendly confines of state bred competition; in too deep. |
| 5 |
Went The Day Well by Proud Citizen |
6-1 | 6-1 | 97 |
Team Valor Intl. & M. Ford H.G. Motion/J. Velazquez |
4th 97 |
JP: Just keeps getting better and better. Ran on courageously despite dreadful early trip in Derby. MW: Derby was his best performance so far, and note that it was his first start with blinkers on. |
| 6 |
Creative Cause by Giant's Causeway |
6-1 | 6-1 | 102 |
Heinz Steinman M. Harrington/J. Rosario |
5th 97 |
JP: Ran deceptively good race in Derby. Made big move on far turn while very wide, flattened out. MW: Note his wide, far turn move came before the pace really slowed down; logical for a piece. |
| 7 |
Bodemeister by Empire Maker |
8-5 | 9-5 | 108 |
Zayat Stables & M. Moreno B. Baffert/M. Smith |
2nd 99 |
JP: Turned in a remarkable effort in the Derby, setting blistering fractions and just failing to last. MW: He'll have an easier lead here. The big question is if two weeks is enough after that effort. |
| 8 |
Daddy Nose Best by Scat Daddy |
12-1 | 15-1 | 100 |
Cathy and Bob Zollars S. Asmussen/J. Leparoux |
10th 84 |
JP: Several horses had excuses in Derby, but I didn't see one for him. Did not run like he trained. MW: Had very minor early trouble and made a brief move on far turn, but Jay's right, no excuses. |
| 9 |
I'll Have Another by Flower Alley |
5-2 | 2-1 | 101 |
J. Paul Reddam D. O'Neill/M. Gutierrez |
1st 101 |
JP: Keeps winning, keeps being underestimated. Derby winner is perfect in three starts this year. MW: Should get another good trip as Bodemeister's primary early pursuer; will take some beating. |
| 10 |
Optimizer by English Channel |
30-1 | 30-1 | 92 |
Cathy and Bob Zollars D. Lukas/C. Nakatani |
11th 83 |
JP: Definition of insanity is doing same thing over and over, expecting new result. Put him on turf. MW: But Jay, the Hill Prince Stakes isn't on a big enough stage, or on network tv, so here he is. |
| 11 |
Cozzetti by Cozzene |
30-1 | 30-1 | 92 |
Albaugh Family Stables D. Romansn/J. Lezcano |
-- |
JP: Probably hoping for off track, since lone win was in Churchill slop. Well back of Bode in Ark. MW: Is subtly improving, but this is no time for subtle. He needs a big breakthrough to contend. |
