MODESTI'S PICKS.Byline: - Kevin Modesti 1. Afleet Alex Afleet Alex (born May 9, 2002 in Florida) is an American thoroughbred race horse who, in 2005, won two of America's classic races, the Preakness Stakes and the Belmont Stakes. : I liked him in the Derby and see no reason to get off the most proven 3-year-old after a near-miss caused in part by Jeremy Rose's impatient ride. 2. Giacomo: Though the Derby champ should run well and could win, horses who get all the breaks in one race must expect their comeuppance come·up·pance n. A punishment or retribution that one deserves; one's just deserts: "It's a chance to strike back at the critical brotherhood and give each his comeuppance for evaluative sins of the past" in the next. 3. High Fly: Of the Derby graduates running in the Preakness, he's the most qualified to use the killer early pace at Churchill Downs as an excuse. Long shot - Malibu Moonshine moonshine Toxicology Illicitly distilled whiskey. See Lead poisoning, Saturnine gout. : Seven years in a row, a stretch-running long shot has plodded into the Preakness trifecta tri·fec·ta n. A system of betting in which the bettor must pick the first three winners in the correct sequence. Also called triple. [tri- + (per)fecta.] . This guy fits the profile. |
