GSV and the Preakness

Postby George William Smith » Fri May 19, 2006 8:18 am

Never one to dodge getting out on a branch and to begin sawing.

Preakness GSV Scores
1. Like Now..................68.63
2. Platinum Couple........67.80
3. Hemingway's Key......65.69
4. Greeley's Legacy........68.29
5. Brother Derek............65.14
6. Barbaro.....................76.12
7. Sweetnorthernsaint.....64.43
8. Bernardini..................75.87
9. Diabolical...................62.67

Barbaro has the highest GSV score and he has ran to it, so he stays my #1 choice in the Preakness. Bernardini also has a very high score and from his limited race record, he has also shown great promise in running to his GSV score so he becomes to me a co-equal choice with Brother Derek and Sweetnorthernsaint for 2nd place. Note that the race records of Brother Derek and Sweetnorthernsaint, although they have lower GSV scores than posts 1-4, merit the greatest respect as the GSV is only a useful tool in handicapping the winner or placing in a single race. An interesting way that this race may be bet according to the GSV shows that a backup bet of Bernardini to Barbaro, Brother Derek and Sweetnorthernsaint in exactas could be quite profitable, if Barbaro fails to run as he has before.

Can we get this site updated with the new GSV/GRASP scores.

This is the only reason I pay for the Subscribed fee; well along with the Linebreeding Reports.

Did Wild Rush go up??

Unfortunate for Barbaro, but let me point out Bernardini's success sure backs you up.
