This is Beeson at the track, the road to the Preakness Stakes.

Now here's your host, Mike Somich and Mark Malusus.

Welcome back in your Visan at the track.

Mike and Mark taking you right up to the Preakness Stakes, which is just two minutes to post right now, Mark.

All the horses out on the track looking great.

Right now, your favorite Taj Mahal sitting there at 9 to 2 second choice.

The number 12 incredible sitting at 5 to 1.

I am on the number 5 talking.

We'll see if we can get that horse home.

You are on the number 12 incredible tier mark.

As we go toward the gate here, what are your last thoughts as we look at this odd board? Any surprises that are jumping out at you, anyone that you're unexpected getting some late money here? No, I mean, I think it's favorable that talk and I think is ticked up a little bit. Taj Mahal continues to see the public money coming his way. He's nine to two right now. It looks like the gates are going to open up and he is going to be the favorite. I was touching upon it because I was watching the feed from Laurel during the course of the break, Mike, is that they all look great, right? Rain is held off. We're going to get a fast track, which is favorable.

They all look fantastic. Nobody looks worse for the wear. You know, Great White went off, ran on his own. I mean, just an unbelievably large three-year-old is Great White, with a fitting name, the 13, sitting there at 8 to 1 right now on the board. but they all look great. And hopefully we get a safe and clean race this afternoon out in the pregnus. Yeah, it's the one and probably only time. We will see the pregnus stakes here from Laurel Park as we are. Zero minutes to post. The horses are approaching the gate. We're going to start loading this preakness field soon. Again, I'm on the number five talking, Mark, on the number 12 here. Incredible. If you want to get your bets in, make sure you head over to your 80W. Get those in now as we do have zero minutes to post and we are circling behind the gate. Hopefully we have a clean break here, Mark. Hopefully no one flips over behind the gate, no drama like we had in the Kentucky Derby there. And I'm fascinated to see what happens coming out of this race as well. We'll talk about the ramifications of the Preakness moving forward. But we saw a lot of Derby horses decide not to be here at Laurel for the Preakness. I'll be interested to see if we have any of these horses who decide to jump back into the fire here and head up to Saratoga for the Belmont.

Yeah, it'll be interested to see if we have any of these horses who decide to jump back into the fire here and head up to Saratoga for the Belmont.

Yeah, it'll be interesting.

There's no doubt.

And that Belmont is going to be fun.

Obviously, last year up there at Saratoga, you know, it'll be if there's one of these that decide like, Ocelli, should he win today? Does he take on the fight three weeks from today up there at Saratoga? Even though I don't like him today, if he ends up winning it, breaking his maiden in the preakness, you would imagine that potentially if he's healthy, that he moves forward because that would be a big chip in the old game. So it'd be fun to see talking, you know, the 12 Incredible.

I would probably think less inclined with Riley Mott with Incredible after running him back in two weeks.

But if he's victorious today, you never know if the horse is really, really doing well and what that field up at Saratoga looks like three weeks from today, Mike.

Yeah, we did see journalism running all three races last year.

So we do have some horses who still want to go through this path.

That is the Triple Crown and be able to run in all three races.
