#32. I am predicting another year without a Triple Crown, and infact leaving out I'll Have Another from my Top 5 in this field of 11. My picks today are 5,7,6,2,1. #5 is Went The Day Well, Team Valor's winner of the Spiral for me at TP back in March and a great 4th in the Derby (as long as that hard run 2 weeks ago didn't take too much out of him), from my Derby pick, the unlucky Bodemeister (same caveat) and #6 Creative Cause,winner of the San Felipe for me (beating Bodemeister), also back in March.
By the way, the race is named after the the colt who won the Dinner Party Stakes on the day Pimlico opened, October 25, 1870). Preakness came from Milton Holbrook Sanford's Preakness Stables in Preakness, Wayne Township, New Jersey, the name said to have come from the Native American name for the area, Pra-qua-les meaning "Quail Woods". Now the race is known as "the run for the black eyed susans".
