Mike (Preakness),

We know that Fusaichi Pegasus deserves to be the favorite, but I think I have a longshot to consider here.

I expect Hugh Hefner to get little action on the board because he's never beaten anyone and got crushed against good horses when he tried. There's also lots of speed in here. However, I think he has been improving and lots of good horses got killed in that Breeders Cup juvenile because of the bias.

In his last race, he rushed into what appears to be a very hot pace from an outside post. He held up fairly well. This is his 3rd race off the layoff so he's likely to move forward. He has the rail at Pimlico which is often a big advantage for speed horses and he's a son of Bertrando. Bertrando ran some HUGE races on wet tracks in his time.

If he can shake loose from High Yield and Hal's Hope early, he may be able to hang around for a major piece of the pie. Especially if the track is wet or the inside is an advantage. I would suggest that if you are going to play the race that you observe the other races today and not totally disregard this one. Maybe he'll finish last if he can't get an easy lead, but at a huge price he can't be tossed.
