Race 13 Pimlico G1 Preakness Stakes

#2 - UNCLE LINO - Taking a flier on this longshot who was the wire to winner of the California Chrome Stakes at Los Alamitos in track record time in his last start. In the Preakness three years ago, Gary Stevens put the unheralded runner Oxbow on the lead and was able to slow the pace down enough to front steal the race at odds of 15-1. That is the scenario I am hoping for today. So, my play is to bet Uncle Lino to win and place and include him in three horse exacta and trifecta boxes with Nyquist and Exaggerator as a saver.
