[@plasticrap4577]

So happy for Velazquez! Finally wins the Preakness! Way to go Hall of Famer!!!🎉🎉🎉

The Blazing Seven's jockey was so bad. Tow times. Congratulations National Treasure and John Velazquez. 🏆🌻

[@TheVisualante11]

Amazing Race. Wow what a horse to hold the lead like he did. Wow. What a winner.

[@mikeuyeda2330]

They let him walk on the front end...49 second half. 47 is normal in the Preakness. Smart ride by J.V. Mage looked tired!

[@reinaldogonzalez94]

John Velazquez's ride was great, showed the way, and those 200 mts of Velazquez propelled his ride rhythmically that was a poem.

Tal vez no ganaba, pero Mage tiró hacia dentro cuando se acercaba a los punteros y perdió su intención en el último furlong y ya no pudo avanzar mucho....Aunque creo que National Treasure ya no perdía con nadie... !!!!

[@PabloCorradino-ds7mg]

Con 7 ejemplares y casi sin pelea en la delantera( 23 4' , 73 2' parciales muy cómodos ect, ect) NATIONAL TREASSURE no tuvo enemigos salvó el final con B SEVEN, por otra parte ,la herida con sutura antes de la carrera que sufrió MAGE, de alguna manera le pasó factura...no hay que olvidar la gran carrera que ganó el difunto MEDINA SPIRIT ( el kentuky Derby 2021)caballo entrenado por el ' MAGE' Baffert.....

The pace was obvious. The game plan quite simple. It worked. I got paid. lol

[@mikeuyeda2330]

No First Mission helped!!

[@Racingdudes]

National Treasure ran the same race he’s been running from a numbers standpoint (98 Beyer). Yes, he benefited from the pace, but Mage not firing is ultimately how he won.

[@JayAr709]

Mage should have been allowed his one run. Stalking was never going to succeed. Might not have prevailed in any event, but Mage not firing, with this ride, cost him the race.

[@stevenleone9627]

​@@RacingdudesMage bounced off the derby with his best Beyer to date. Also didn't have it easy down the stretch in derby didn't help. National Treasure came in fresh, will no traffic trouble during the race. Nice win.

[@Going4Thaifood]

Wahhh, people crying over their loss. After First Mission scratched- it was even more clear that Johnny V would be hustling National Treasure to the front. Johnny V controlled the race perfectly slowing the pace down the backstretch. When he decided it was 'go time' the duel down the stretch was awesome. Irad did what he does in trying to intimidate National Treasure- but Johnny and the horse dug deep and won. Of course I'm happy when I was keying Treasure and Blazing Sevens. Let's be honest- were Perform, Coffee with Chris, and Chase even good enough to be in this race. Made nice money, but if Blazing Sevens beats National Treasure- 💰💰💰 Soooo impressed with Johnny V dictating EVERYTHING in this fun race

Castellano tardó una eternidad para estimular al caballo mage, en mi opinión no estuvo al mismo nivel q en el kentuky derby cuando antes de la curva ya venía arreando al caballo...

[@williamspena2925]

es verdad no se que le pasa a javier en algunas carreras es como si esta pensando otra cosa y no lo veo con ninguna intension de ganar o perdio la malicia en carrera el era quien tenia el chance del triple coronado Mage en la semana se partio la cara los puntos ok son cosas que pueden pasar su factura pero el tenia que buscar la punta o a pelear la carrera que le pongan los videos de cañonero del primer paso y el segundo paso de 1971 Gustavo avila sale a pelear la carrera con cañonero y gana su carrera un caballo que remato en el primer paso desde el lugar 15 y gano el kentuky y luego Preakness corriendo segundo a 1/2 cuerpo del primer lugar y gano su carrera falto eso javier castellano mas malicia tu tenia el chance de la triple no jhon velasquez

[@anthonyguanipa1743]

@@williamspena2925 para mí la conducción no fue la apropiada,, en chulchins down la curva es más amplia y antes del giro ya venía rematando y en parciales más violentos los 1200 en 70 y en el preakness pasaron los 1200 en 72'3 o 73 algo así y en curva más cerrada... Soy venezolano y la verdad la conducción y decisión estuvo mala y de paso mage en la recta final le agarra intención y lo jala hacia adentro para ponerse detrás de los punteros esa idea nada más la podía tomar un jockey de poca experiencia pero de un eclipse awars no es creíble 🤦🏽‍♂️..

[@jossygutierrez492]

También tiene que ver los hipódromos ese hipódromo la pista es bien pesada y el ritmo es muy diferente mira bien la carrera que john velasquez le ganó la carrera a castellano en la salida velasquez lo sacó de la carrera y velasquez no le importo el caballo de ortiz en la carrera estos jockey son muy interesantes te sacan de uno de la carrera

[@anthonyguanipa1743]

@@jossygutierrez492 más fuerza toma mi opinión xq cuando la pista es pesada se le es muy difícil ganar a los caballos punteros, más sin embargo mage quedó solo para decidir castellano en dnd y cómo colocar al animal... Mira otras carreras de Javier y observa en q lugar de la carrera toma decisiones.. y otra cosa fustigó creo q en dos ocasiones al caballo osea eso fue un estímulo barato cuando se viene en atropellada..

[@musiclover148]

If Blazing Sevens wins, do you think he comes down? He really pushed National Treasure down to the inside toward the end. Not only did NT enjoy a cushy pace, he also had the shortest trip around. BS (sorry) wasn't forced terribly wide, but he did travel farther. Happy for JV.

[@Racingdudes]

Hard to say. Most likely not.

Just another day at the track. One Baffert horse euthanized another doped up enough to get it done. You allow this guy to train at everyone's expense. Especially the horse's. Baffert. Navarro.

Mage is worthless angel of empire was the fastest n games hoss hoss racing is now thru till next year

[@David-di6jf]

Interesting recent shows, including following today's Preakness. RD's has a good mix of handicappers; however, they often tend to gravitate to betting on favorites, viewing the winning horses in the most favorable light, while downgrading or being blindsided by the horses deemed not as worthy when they win. The Preakness was near the best performance by a three year old; for one, National Treasure had to take the race from beginning to end, fighting down the stretch with a few including Blazing Sevens. Now BS and NT are among the least favored horses in the RD ranking system. But the race outcome did not flatter RD's fall back favorites, Forte and recent winner Mage. It is possible that Mage, though impressive in the Kentucky Derby, got the perfect set up race in the Kentucky Derby, and in the Florida Derby. In the FD Forte was hard pressed to beat Mage. In the Preakness, Mage was a non-factor; in part, because he did not get the set up races he got in the FD and Kentucky Derby, where other horses cut fast fractions to set up his kick. Other than Mage and Forte in the Florida Derby, don't know who they beat. Forte, if he runs again, may be this year's Epicenter, who never won a Triple Crown race, but was propped up by mainstream hype, while winning lesser races such as the Travers. There was talk of lack of participation in the Triple Crown. Part of the problem is that handlers bypass the Triple Crown races, thinking winning a Travers, for example, is like winning a Triple Crown race. And that, coupled with media hype, will produce an Eclipse.

I agree I feel sick Bob Baffert horse won. Because I believe he has probably been drugged too. I'm also waiting for the blood work. Because Bob already had a horse in the 6th race euthanized because it's leg broke. The Jockey is still in the hospital! It was sickening to watch the catastrophe happening. Clearly Bob hasn't learned anything from being suspended. I think banning, spending or fining isn't enough, these Delinquent Trainers need Jail Time. Not house arrest either with a ankle monitor, no they deserve real time, and a LIFETIME ban from every being Trainers again! 💔🐎🙏🏻
