                        <![CDATA[BALTIMORE, MD., May 17, 2012—One analyst’s look at the 11 horses contesting Preakness 137 at Pimlico Race Course on Saturday: 1&#45;TIGER WALK 30&#45;1 Owner Kevin Plank, the new master of Sagamore Farm interested in and dedicated to the resurgence of Maryland racing, wants to win a classic so badly he can taste it. The Wood Memorial fourth finisher has gotten good at the right time, advanced to an incremental lifetime best in that Aqueduct event, has worked sharply locally, and is &#8230;<br/><br/><a href='http://www.horseraceinsider.com/John-Pricci/'>Unlike Derby, Preakness Pressure on Young Gutierrez</a>]]>

It finally stopped raining here and it was going to be beautiful through Saturday, but now there’s a 30 percent chance of thundershowers for the second jewel in the crown. But the locals tell me this is the Mason&#45;Dixon Line for weather, meaning it can &#8230;<br/><br/><a href='http://www.horseraceinsider.com/John-Pricci/'>Older Alternatives My Friends</a>]]>

                        <![CDATA[SARATOGA SPRINGS, NY, May 12, 2012—It seems like yesterday, only now it’s 32 years later. Every time I think about the Peter Pan Stakes, it’s 1979, the quintessential Peter Pan, a race that conjures up what this mile and an eighth exercise is supposed to be. Nine furlongs at Big Sandy with only one turn to negotiate. And that means the most useful weapon a Thoroughbred can own if it wants to win this race; demon speed. He can use it &#8230;<br/><br/><a href='http://www.horseraceinsider.com/John-Pricci/'>Deja Vu? Mark Valeski Set for Bigger Game in Belmont</a>]]>

Bullet Bob will make his decision this weekend&#45;&#45;and no one knows what this colt can handle better than his Hall of Fame trainer. If Baffert didn’t know what the colt needed, he never would have drilled him so strongly, twice, between the enervating Arkansas Derby and Kentucky Derby.

The 25&#45;year&#45;old Mexican, via Vancouver, Canada has been nothing short of a revelation since hooking up with Doug O’Neill and his Kentucky Derby winning colt. And Gutierrez (pronounced goo&#45;tee&#45;air&#45;rez) is likely to be heard from again and again and again. “Everybody &#8230;<br/><br/><a href='http://www.horseraceinsider.com/John-Pricci/'>Gutierrez, Gutierrez, Gutierrez</a>]]>

Neville Bardos is a horse that was destined for the slaughterhouse until an Australian&#45;turned&#45;American trainer, Boyd Martin, rescued him at the age of three. The two now compete in a sport called three&#45;day eventing.

                        <![CDATA[ELMONT, NY, April 26, 2012—It’s opening day at Belmont Park. Horseplayers love opening days for a new set of parameters; fresh live horses from different barns; disparate race shapes and strategies; horses for different courses; changing configurations and, in Belmont’s case, two turf courses to play with. A fresh slate; it’s opening day and everybody’s even. Psychologically, too, opening days provide a lift; Triple Crown time has finally arrived; winter’s over and spring is getting smaller in the rear view.
