Fast and yielding for the big day at Pimlico with a very competitive 13 race card on tap.  Watch out for the closers on the turf since the course is very tiring; the main track should be fast and fair with no major biases.

In race 9, The Grade 3 Gallorette Handicap, No Explaining (#2) ran very well in return on soft turf and could be getting better as a 4-year-old in second start off the layoff — much better value than Shared Account (#6) who totes 125 lbs. and might be better at a longer distance.  I’m keying in all multi-race wagers and playing an exacta box with #6.

In race 10, The Grade 3 Schaefer Memorial, Colizeo (#8) cuts back in distance and has great positional speed in a fairly paceless race — I’m keying in all doubles and pick 3′s and playing an exacta box with #5.

In race 12, The Grade 1 Preakness Stakes, Dialed In (#10) was too far back in the Derby and was doomed by a dawdling pace — another chance with some new speed signed on.  I’m keying in exactas with #’s 11, 4 and 9 and playing a nice win & place bet.  Here’s the entire card and good luck!
