I will start off by telling you guys I appreciate the daily info you provide on this site. although I never post I do check the site daily for everyone's analysis and picks.

I read that a horse on the rail has not won the Preakness since 1994. I would think its an advantage since the obvious its the shortest distance around the track.

Wouldn't this give Orb an advantage today?

And for you guys that have seen some of the great horses in the past. Is Orb anywhere near a great horse?

    Not unless he's stabled next to one.

    I don't think the post position draw means anything today. Orb will take back and make his run going into the final turn. As far as Orb goes, I will state that the history book is still incomplete, but nobody had a better view on Derby Day than me, soaking wet and all, and Orb came with a late run and a stride that I haven't seen in a long time. It reminded me of Afleet Alex, (pick any race, but for me its the Arkansas Derby), he was a determined colt who would not be denied! Plus, I'm alive to a whopping $5.90 Special/Preakness Double!!!!

    Funny as fuck, although I think he's getting that good.
