The Black Eyed Susan - Dothraki Queen/Go Maggie Go

Black-Eyed Susan - Land Over Sea (Alt: Midnight On Oconee)

BEN'S CAT!!!!!!

Just an ageless wonder!!!

amazing horse 5 in a row

Ben's Cat is a wonder. The way he bulled through those two horses and took the win on the wire was something special.

Preakness - Cherry Wine/Nyquist/Exaggerator

Going for a price here with an expected hot pace, off track and Dale Romans knack for winning at Pimlico.

Nyquist ran a great race in defeat. Exaggerator is also a beast and truly deserved the win. My choice Cherry Wine ran great with Lanerie making a bold move inside a horse on the turn. An exciting race.

Final week of the most talked about contest on the internets. Mj can take the win with a good showing and if Ghost stays out or Ghost makes some bad picks. I'd have to pick some huge long shots to win this.
