My Preakness bet

Here's the Random Rodricks Morning Line (influenced by John Eisenberg, former Sun scribbler and collaborator with Edgar Prado on My Guy Barbaro): Big Brown-Icabad Crane exacta; that is, play the 7-3. (That was my high school football number, 73, by the way.) This means we're betting against Prado, aboard the 10 horse, Riley Tucker. But we like the fact that Icabad is the only horse in the Preakness to have actually run at Pimlico; he won the Tesio on April 19. His rider today is Jeremy Rose -- and I think you'll find that fella's name connected to a certain Preakness and Belmont winner from just a few years ago. I'm in for $10, maybe $20, maybe even $40 if I'm feelin' it at five. Take Big Brown and Icabad Crane just behind him, 7-3 exacta straight.
