Preakness: My take
While a lot of you were enjoying a bounce-back performance from the Orioles this afternoon, I was over at Pimlico getting my Preak on. Unfortunately for the sport of horse racing, Animal Kingdom was unable to capture the second jewel of the Triple Crown, so we'll have to settle for a rubber match with Preakness winner Shackleford at the Belmont in three weeks. In the meantime, you can check out a couple of my columns from the past 24 hours to get your Preak on. Here's my column on Animal Kingdom and Maryland-based trainer Graham Motion.
If that's not enough horse Schmuck for you, here's my column from today's print edition on just what the Preakness means to Baltimore. Check it out.

Enjoyed these columns, Pete.
I still think that Animal Kingdom's amazing just-short comeback sprint sets him up to be considered a great horse if he can win Belmont.

Without seeming to fawn, your article in the Saturday paper on what the Preakness means to Btown was really great.
