Short stretch? Hot pace? Who fits? The Preakness is a very different race this year! It is being held at Laurel and the stretch is only 1,089 feet! In addition, with most of the outside horses wanting to be near the lead, it is setting up to be a fast pace race - which normally means you upgrade closers, but that stretch?? Who fits here? Join me as I go horse by horse outlining their running style, strengths, and things they must overcome. Full YouTube video in the comments πŸ‘‡
