I doubt all of these will go - but that list is the who's who of who didn't make the Derby (minus Nyquist, Exaggerator, and Lani).
I am interested to see this Stradivari colt.

Creator - Nyquist = Curlin - Street Sense?

Hi Cree,
Of that list Dazzling Gem's entry is contingent upon his work this morning at CD. Creator most likely is out, Gun Runner is still in limbo waiting on Asmussen's decision. Florent Geroux, who rode Gun Runner in the Derby took a backup mount in Laoban, which could indicate Gun Runner will be withdrawn. Other then those 3, the rest are likely starters.
Stradivari had a super work yesterday over Belmont Park's slower training track in company with Stanford (a recent Gr II winner), 5/8ths in 59.60. Uncle Lino also had a good work at SA yesterday, 5/8th's in 1:00.80 prompting his trainer to confirm his entry in the Preakness. Baffert also confirmed Collected's entry after a solid move yesterday at CD, 6F in 1:12.60 and galloped out a mile 1:38.60. Looks like Nyquist won't have an easy time of it as he tries to become only the 2nd undefeated TC winner since Seattle Slew pulled it off in 1977. TJ

Abiding Star threw his hat in the ring. Creator will wait for the Belmont and Gun Rider is still on the fence. Dazzling Gem out, to go in Sir Barton Stakes. They draw the official entries tomorrow, can't wait to see the actual filed:>) TJ

Gun Runner will not run in the Preakness. TJ

The early weather forecast for Preakness day is 100% chance of rain with accumulations of up to one inch. TJ

Is it me, or is this eerily like a replay of last year?
Still rooting for Nyquist to take the second jewel!
