Triple Crown Predictions

Jeff Alexander — Wed, 18 Jun 2008 15:41:45 +0000

After any horse wins the Kentucky Derby, we have to ask if they have a chance at winning the Triple Crown. We haven’t seen a Triple Crown winner since Affirmed in 1978, but plenty have teased us over the last few years. What we know is that Street Sense looks like a champion, but then again, so did Silver Charm, Real Quiet, Charismatic, War Emblem, Smarty Jones, and Funny Cide. Will we be teased yet again or should we finally sense another Triple Crown winner with Street in 2007.

Jimmy Boyd’s 2007 Preakness Stakes predictions won’t steer you wrong. Let’s have a look at what should have us hopeful for a Triple Crown winner this year.

There’s no doubt that Street Sense was the best horse in the Derby. His lengthy move from the back of the pack to the front showed his pure power. This has us glass half-full optimists thinking that if Street can shatter the field under the Derby’s tough conditions that he can have his way with the friendlier Preakness track.

On the other side of this, we have to take into account that the 2007 Kentucky Derby and the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile are Street’s biggest wins and they have both come at Churchill Downs. Hopefully he isn’t a one-course horse.

The thing that really makes me hopeful that he can arrive first at the Preakness is that there is a smaller field. He won’t have as many horse to navigate through if he does drop back early. But this also means more room for his competitors. This will help horses like Curlin and Hard Spun who don’t run their best races on physical tracks.

Perhaps, the biggest thing to worry about is the fresh horses coming in. Just last year, a fresh Bernardini swooped in and beat the talented returners in the Preakness. This year, I don’t see any Benardini’s however. The most notable of these fresh horses is Todd Pletcher’s King of the Roxy. If he wasn’t even able to make it into Pletcher’s top five at the Derby, we shouldn’t have to worry about him ruining the fun at the Preakness. Pletcher’s 0-for-26 Triple Crown record is also quite good news.

Street Sense left the Derby healthy as an ox which is not always the case. He has only ran in two prep races this season which should definitely be to his benefit.

Street’s trainer has only had one Derby winner (Unbridled in 1990) who went on to finish second at the Preakness. Most would say that this history isn’t in Street’s favor, but I would say otherwise. There’s no doubt that Street Sense has a better finishing kick than any Horse Carl Nafzger has ever had. History tells me that Nafzger will have his horse ready and the talented colt will take care of the rest. I’m pulling for Street at the Preakness.

Belmont Predictions

Jeff Alexander — Tue, 17 Jun 2008 14:05:29 +0000

Five weeks after the Derby is run there will be plenty of people heading to the races and making Belmont predictions. This is the final and most demanding leg of the Triple Crown and it normally takes a different kind of horse to compete in this race than the first two. Jeff Alexander and his team will be going over all the news from around the race track of how each horse is looking and how the humans behind the horse are feeling about their chances of winning. This means that if you want to win without doing any work at all then you should check out our expert Belmont picks. These selections are the top selections you can get out of the handicapping world and will help make you a profit.

The good news is that making Belmont predictions is easier than the first two races since you will have more information available at the tips of your fingers. The horses have had five extra weeks to compete, train, and have us evaluate those performances. You will have to do your homework and take a look at the races leading up to the event, but what are you looking for. You will want a horse that can get it done at long distances. At the Derby the horses are bumping and grinding against up to twenty different horses and at the Preakness you want pure speed against a slim crowd. There will be another set of ten horses or so at the Belmont, but it’s stamina and not speed you will want to key in on.

One thing to look at when making Belmont predictions is the family history of the horse. There have been a total of eleven Belmont winners who later sired another champion. This was a popular form of handicapping back in the day, but the last horse that bred a winner was Triple Crown winner, Secretariate of 1973. He sired Risen Star who took home the prize in 1988. Still, look for a history of endurance in the horse’s lineage and you’ll have a better chance of coming out on top in the end.
