Preakness smack talk
It's about time someone stepped up and put their mouth where their money is in the horseracing world. Hard Spun's trainer, Larry Jones, says his team plans on derailing any Triple Crown talk this Saturday at Pimlico Park in Baltimore. Jones said: "Believe me, we have every intention of seeing to it that there is not a Triple Crown winner in 2007 ... If there is a Triple Crown winner we're going to make them feel like they deserved it ... We're not going to just hand it to them."
Andrew Beyer says you can't write off Jones or his horse after the impressive showing in the Derby and his unorthodox preparation.
The Preakness will have the top three horses from the Kentucky Derby in Street Sense, Hard Spun and Curlin. And these guys, along with most of the infield on Saturday, could care less.
