There are two old rules in racing.

The first is look for a horse that outshines the rest and if the second best horse to him gets scratched then you have an easy winner. In this Preakness the horses that ran 2nd, 3rd, and 4th to Orb in the Derby are not in this race. That tells me Orb should win easily.

The second old rule is when you see a horse you are just positive is going to win then you never look at the odds. You just go to the betting window and keep buying win tickets on him until they tell you you can't buy them any more. Then forget the race and go get a beer. Go to the cashiers window and drink your beer until the window opens. Then collect your money. GL ]]> Golf, Tennis, Racing, Boxing, Horses, South Pacific, etc...

I never find the Preakness even half as exciting as the Derby because of the much smaller field but I do think this is an interesting race.

#1 ORB - Has become everyone's darling and was one of my top choices for the Derby and he didn't disappoint. Had an eye-popping workout Monday which may suggest he is even sharper coming into this race. Versatile horse who can storm from far back like he did in the Derby or can sit close to the front. Rail position isn't always the easiest but it will insure that he doesn't lose ground in the turns. He has now won 5 straight and it's tough to see him out of the mix but you won't be getting bang for your buck in value, as he will be the heavy favorite. Had a wide trip in the Derby and he would have won for fun with an easier ground saving trip. If he runs his race, there is only one other horse in the field who shows he can run a similar speed figure and there[s a good chance he won't find traffic problems and won't have a wide trip. He's a deserving favorite and an obvious must use in exotic bets and the likely winner.

#2 GOLDENCENTS - Was impressive winner in the Santa Anita Derby but was nowhere to be found in the Derby and was eased. Would have to make an astonishing recovery here. Expect to see him try to fire early and carry his speed but even his best, wouldn't beat several in here if they run their races. Trainer O'Neill was the buzz around the paddock a year ago, but his 15 minutes of fame are past and I'm not in love with this horse although think he will be in the mix until the middle to deep stretch. He's the strongest of the early speed horses so he wouldn't shock me if he hits the ticket but he would have to run a career best to beat the top contenders and I am willing to take a stand against.

#3 TITLETOWN FIVE - Only win came in a maiden race 8 months ago and has basically fired blanks in his three races this year. 5 of his 7 races were sprints and his speed figures in his two routes leave him in the dust here. Speed figures are far behind the contenders and he seems in over his head. High profile trainer in D. Wayne Lukas and football legend, Paul Hornung is in the ownership group. In his playing days, I might have given Hornung a better chance here than TTown5. May be the fastest leaving the gate but don't see him having any say in the finish.

#4 DEPARTING - Didn't make his debut until December 22nd and has won 4 of 5 including the Illinois Derby and all 4 wins were impressive scores. Shown a big improvement on Lasix and has come a long way in a short time. Seems to have a penchant for coming wide and if he can save some ground he could be in the mix. His one loss was in the Louisiana Derby to Revolutionary and Mylute. Fresh horse having not run in derby and a local Maryland horse but he hasn't proven he can beat the big boys yet but to his credit, his speed figures have improved in all 5 races, although his best is about 3 sheet figures behind the best of the top contenders. Has a shot but at best I will consider for the bottom of the ticket.

#5 MYLUTE - Has shown solid closing finishes in the Louisiana Derby where he finished 2nd and in the Kentucky Derby where he finished 5th, but just a length from 2nd in the Derby. Has solid speed figures and his Derby figure was the 2nd best in the race, but his best so far is slightly below the top two contenders. The Rosie Napravnik angle will still get a lot of play here and if she can give this colt a good ground saving trip, he a definite contender. Shows a very nice and steady pattern of races. Can see him hitting the ticket and may play a small saver with him on top but will use on the bottom part of the ticket primarily. My 3rd choice.

#6 OXBOW - If you consider how torrid the pace was in the Derby, this colt was the only one in the top speed group who hung around late and held on 6th but you can also say he was the horse that may have saved the most ground throughout with a rail hugging trip. He actually stuck a head in front at the top of the stretch and he should make his presence felt in the early stages however this is his 10th race in 7 months and with the quick turnaround since the Derby, I am not expecting his best effort and even his best, is about three sheet figures below the top contenders. One of D. Wayne Lukas' three horses in this race and will be vying for the early lead but don't see him having a strong say so in the final outcome. May be worth a saver ticket on the bottom part of trifectas but I will most likely not be using much money on him at all.

#7 WILL TAKE CHARGE - The Derby was his first race past 1 1/16 miles and he was forced to check late when Verrazano came into his lane and cost him any chances and he finished 8th but likely would've fired his best figure. Switches to Hall of Fame jockey, Mike Smith and is the 3rd D. Wayne Lukas horse entered. Had 7 weeks off prior to the Derby and should be somewhat fresh but the quick turnaround in 2 weeks here is a bit of a concern. He hasn't fired a speed figure as sharp as the top contenders; in fact his best speed figure is about 4 sheet numbers below the top contenders. Will get some tote board action as the "wiseguy horse" and he has an outside chance, but I will use him mostly on the bottom of the exotics but not in a major way.

#8 GOVERNOR CHARLIE - Has run just three times but won the Sunland Park Derby in track-record time. Missed the Derby with a foot bruise. Has some solid 6 furlong works and expect to see him as a pace factor. Hasn't shown he can tackle the big boys and coming in off a layoff and foot injury without a great body of work makes me skeptical. His best figure is still about 5 sheet numbers lower than the top contenders. Not impossible, but I am taking a stand against.

#9 ITSMYLUCKYDAY - Call me stubborn or maybe loyal as this was my Derby horse and he flopped and finished 15th but I still like him and am willing to ignore the Derby and say maybe he just didn't like the slop. He and Orb have the best speed figures on their past performances and if he fires, he has the talent to win this. Has one of the best jockeys in the land in John Velazquez. He won the Gulfstream Park Derby by almost 7 and won the Holy Bull by 2 and is the most experienced horse in the race. Worked extremely well at Monmouth Park on Monday which gives confidence he will fire a solid shot today. His past sheet numbers clearly indicate that if he runs his race, he is right there with Orb and there is no doubt he offers much more value. I think he will rebound solidly and I will be playing him and Orb equally on top of exotic bets.

I will be making a huge bet on an exacta box with Orb and Itsmyluckyday!

I will follow up with exactas with both Orb and Itsmyluckyday on top of Mylute and small savers with Mylute on top of both.

I will also play some trifectas and supers using Orb and Itsmyluckyday with Mylute, Departing. Will Take Charge and Goldencents.

I mentioned liking Jason Day last week, and while he did have two good rounds I think I was a week early. Really like him this week. He's matched up with Kuchar which is what I expected and this price isn't bad so I'm going to lock in a play on him now. Still looking over the rest of the card.

Former pound-for-pound king Manny Pacquiao, seeking to get his mojo back after being knocked out cold by rival Juan Manuel Marquez in December, will return to action to face brawler Brandon Rios this fall, Pacquiao adviser Michael Koncz told ESPN.com on Monday.
The fight, the first for Filipino icon Pacquiao outside the United States since 2006, will take place at the CotaiArena at the Venetian Macao Resort Hotel in Macau, China on Nov. 24, which is Nov. 23 in the United States.
The fighters have both agreed to terms and the contracts are being finalized, according to Koncz and Top Rank promoter Bob Arum. Pacquiao agreed to terms last week and Koncz, who is traveling to the Philippines to see him, said he is bringing him the paperwork. Arum said Rios agreed to terms on Monday morning.

“Manny is definitely going to get his mojo back with this fight.
”-- Freddie Roach, trainer for
Manny Pacquiao

Koncz said that Pacquiao will face Rios at the welterweight limit of 147 pounds in a scheduled 12-round fight that will be televised on HBO PPV in the United States.
Because of the 12-hour time difference between Macau and the United States the pay-per-view will take place in the morning in Macau for a normal primetime telecast in the U.S.
"People know what Rios brings to the table," Arum said. "People want to see a real fight and that is what you get with Rios. We're building a business in Macau and China and these are the kinds of fights -- real action fights -- that they want to see."
Rios, a former lightweight titlist, has had his last two fights at junior welterweight and split a pair of all-action battles with Mike Alvarado. Rios knocked out Alvarado in the seventh round in an October barn-burner and lost a close unanimous decision to him in a March 30 rematch, which was for a vacant interim junior welterweight title, that is the leading fight of the year candidate.
"I think it's a good match. People who watch boxing have differing views of the sport," Arum said. "Some like to see an artistic performance like Floyd Mayweather gave [against Robert Guerrero on Saturday night] and other people like to see two guys knocking the s--- out of each other. Me, I love a match when the guys go after each other and throw bombs. That's my preference. It doesn't mean it's the right preference, but this is one of those kinds of fights."
Although Rios (31-1-1, 23 KOs), 27, of Oxnard, Calif., is coming off a defeat, Pacquiao (54-5-2, 38 KOs) picked him to fight, Koncz said.
Rafael's Boxing Blog

Get the latest scoop and analysis on the world of boxing from ESPN.com's Dan Rafael in his blog.

"The two fights with Alvarado were both very close fights and either guy could have won either fight," Koncz said. "We looked at styles and Rios has the better style for Manny. He'll come forward and throw a lot of punches. Whether it goes five rounds or 12 rounds, it is going to be entertaining for the fans and that is what Manny wants. Rios was Manny's choice after Marquez and [Timothy] Bradley turned it down."
Pacquiao's selection of Rios met with the approval of Hall of Fame trainer Freddie Roach, who said Pacquiao would train for six weeks in the Philippines and the final two weeks in Macau.
"Manny is definitely going to get his mojo back with this fight," Roach told ESPN.com. "Brandon Rios likes to fight in the pocket and exchange, and Manny is very good in the pocket too. I think it'll be an exciting fight but that Manny is going to land in the pocket at some point and knock this guy out somewhere along the way. Rios likes to exchange and his style is not really difficult to figure out, so Manny's gonna hit him."
Pacquiao, who has not fought outside the United States since he returned to the Philippines for a decision win against Oscar Larios in Manila in July 2006, has officially lost two fights in a row.
Marquez badly knocked him out in the sixth round on Dec. 8 in a stunner. The action-packed fight was the 2012 ESPN.com fight of the year. But in his previous fight in June, Pacquiao, the only boxer to win world titles in eight weight classes, lost a split decision and his welterweight title to Bradley in a highly controversial split decision.
Koncz and Arum said Marquez and Bradley were both offered career-high purses for rematches with Pacquiao but when both turned them down, Pacquiao opted for Rios. Bradley will instead defend his welterweight belt against Marquez in the fall in Las Vegas on HBO PPV.
"After Marquez and Bradley turned down our offers, Rios was next in line and he took the fight," Koncz said. "Manny is happy to get back in the ring, so he's looking forward to this but right now his major focus is on politics.

“We looked at styles and Rios has the better style for Manny. He'll come forward and throw a lot of punches. Whether it goes five rounds or 12 rounds, it is going to be entertaining for the fans and that is what Manny wants.
”-- Michael Koncz, adviser to
Manny Pacquiao

Pacquiao, a congressman in the Philippines, is running unopposed in next week's election but Koncz said Pacquiao is spending a great deal of time and money on the campaigns of his wife, Jinkee, who is running for vice governor of their province, and younger brother Rogelio, who is also running for congress.
Koncz said Marquez was offered $13 million (plus an upside of the pay-per-view profits), a raise over the minimum of $6 million he made for the December fight. When Marquez rejected the offer, Koncz said they offered Bradley $6 million to fight Pacquiao again, a raise from the minimum of $5 million he made for the June fight.
"They both turned us down and agreed to fight each other," Koncz said.
Said Arum, "Bradley and Marquez preferred to fight each other and they didn't really want to go to Asia. The only one that benefits from the fight being outside the U.S. is Pacquiao because an American like Bradley still has to pay taxes in the U.S. and for Marquez still has to pay taxes in Mexico, where the rate is about the same as in the U.S. For Pacquiao it's a big deal because the tax rates in the Philippines are much lower."
Terms of the deals Pacquiao and Rios agreed to were not disclosed, but Arum said that Rios would earn "more than Robert Guerrero made to fight Floyd on Saturday night." Guerrero's purse was $3 million.
The fighters will hold news conferences in New York and Los Angeles to promote the fight, although they are not yet scheduled, and they will also go on a five-city publicity tour in China, where the fight will be the country's first major pay-per-view for a cost of what is equal to about $4 or $5 in the U.S., Arum said.
"What's gonna happen with this fight and event will be monumental from the standpoint of economics in boxing," Arum said. "We have a whole program of how to market pay-per-view in China and we're gonna go on a barnstorming tour of China. In the United States we market essentially only through cable and satellite systems but in China, where they have about 1.4 billion people, it's all on the internet, on iPhones, iPads and computers. If this thing works like we expect that it will the boxing business will never be the same." ]]> Golf, Tennis, Racing, Boxing, Horses, South Pacific, etc... twinkie13 http://www.cappingthegame.com/forum/showthread.php?89226-Pac-Man-Vs-Bam-Bam-Set-in-Macau Wells Fargo Sunday http://www.cappingthegame.com/forum/showthread.php?89158-Wells-Fargo-Sunday&goto=newpost Sun, 05 May 2013 07:56:14 GMT too many good feelings for tomorrow......fwiw, sunday golf is the easiest to cap I think......actually can play pinny legally tonight.....so...using...
