How to play the Preakness card with $50
My Preakness opinion is that this has not been a great crop of 3-year-olds and we are waiting for a fresh face to reboot the division. I really like Owendale (No. 5).

TimeformUS handicapper David Aragona highlights some contenders on Friday's card at Belmont.
TimeformUS Preakness Analysis: The Pace Projector is predicting a fast pace, but it’s not the sort of overwhelming pace characterization that you will sometimes see in races of this magnitude.
The late pick four starts on the 11th race, the Grade 2 Black-Eyed Susan. There’s no shortage of speed in the field, and it could set up for one of the closing favorites, Always Shopping (6) or Point of Honor (8).

Like trainer Mark Casse, I was hoping War of Will did not draw the rail again for the Preakness, although obviously not for the same reasons. The prevailing thought was that War of Will and IMPROBABLE are the two best horses in this field, with the former likely to offer a little more betting value and with a very legitimate chance of defeating the likely favorite – if he did not draw down inside again.
Despite being stuck inside for a second consecutive leg of the Triple Crown, WAR OF WILL should be viewed as one of the major threats, if not the most likely winner, of this year's Preakness Stakes. War of Will made his first start since a disastrous trip in the Louisiana Derby in the Kentucky Derby two weeks ago, breaking from the dreaded inside post. Once urged from the gate, he became difficult to rate, sitting the pocket trip before becoming involved in the Derby controversy, ultimately leading to a seventh-place finish via disqualification.
