The Preakness is shorter than the Derby--a mile and 3/16 vs. a mile and a quarter.
I'd be happier for Mystik Dan and his connections if my trifecta didn't come in 2/3/4.
Interesting. I forgot the Preakness was shorter. I guess maybe anything's possible. It seemed like Mystik Dan had a few things go right in terms of the difficult trips that some of the other horses had. With the smaller fields, it will be interesting to see what happens.Also, Belmont is at Saratoga this year and will be 1 1/4.
Having a potential triple crown on the line not at Belmont would be pretty weird. Sounds like it should be back at Belmont in 2026.
