Preakness Race

I'm making my annual trip to the Preakness, with seats at the finish line.  Look out for Dance City to WIN!  What's your pick?

Of all of the sports out there, I may know the least about horse racing.  How do you go about choosing winners?  Is there any real method to it or is it just a luck type of thing.

Who said he chooses the winners?

I am a HUGE horse racing fan. Follow the sport pretty closley. Spend time at Saratoga in the summer every year and love it.

Picking winners....even the die hards of die hards can't pick winners on a consistent basis. At the end of the day you are dealing with animals.

It's a beauitful sport, but to try and get rich gambling on it....save your time!!

My dad did a weekly horse racing radio show when I was growing up called "The Winner's Circle," but I never got too much into picking the ponies. I definitely enjoyed being in the saddle as a kid, but never had much interest in hanging out at the track.

I do watch the triple crown races on TV...that's about as close as I get to a horse race these days.

Go out and rent the movie "Let It Ride" with Richard Dreyfuss and Teri Garr.  Everything you need to know about how to pick a winner is in that movie.
