Dominus - 2011 Dwyer S. (G2) [02:09]
Lightly raced Dominus seized an early lead and turned back odds-on favorite Adios Charlie to earn his first graded stakes victory on Saturday at Belmont Park in the Grade 2, $150000 Dwyer. Making his second start against winners, Dominus strolled through fractions of 24.28, 47.86, and 1:11.76 while being tracked by Adios Charlie, opened a three-length lead in the stretch, and was never seriously threatened as the favorite made minimal headway in the final salvos, winning by 1 ¾ lengths. Dominus, the 5-2 second choice in the field of six, returned $7.80 for a $2 win wager and was clocked in 1:41.74 for 1 1/16 miles. The easy lead came as a surprise to winning jockey Julien Leparoux.

2011 Preakness Handicapping Part 2: revised forecast [09:07]
on further reflection, doing more reading, studying, & watching race replays, I'm still backing the 11, Animal Kingdom, but have adjusted my other picks. The 3, King Congie is interesting but probably better as an exotics play. I have to be afraid of Dialled In, in a race where the pace projects to be quicker than the Derby was, which will aid his late run. Other major players besides the chalks? I like Astrology, midnight Interlude, & Mr Commons a lot, but my other main key horse is the 6, Sway Away. He's very dangerous, along with Mucho Macho Man. The only ones to throw out are 2 & 12. Hope this helps.
