The second leg of the Triple Crown, the Preakness, is upon us, but first things first—on Friday, a field of eight three-year-old fillies will contend in the 1 1/8-mile Black-Eyed Susan.
My selection is Gun Song, who didn’t run particularly well in her last race, but I’m looking for a bounce-back here. If she can return to the form that we saw in the prior two races, she should be good to go. Here is how I’m going to play the race:
Gun Song- Win & Place
Exacta Key- Gun Song on top with Lemon Muffin, Call Another Play and Corposo in the second position, and also reversing the bet with Lemon Muffin, Call Another Play and Corposo all in the top spot with Gun Song in the second position.
