At Churchill Downs, Sunny's Halo and Desert Wine had everything their own way, stalking a slow early pace, avoiding the heavy traffic in the field, never having to exert themselves seriously until the final turn. The Preakness will be run differently. There is a speedster in the who in keeping with field, Bet Big the theme of the race has been suffering from two shin splits. He ought to set an honest pace.

The faster pace ought to give the stretch-runner- s who failed in the Derby a much better chance. Marfa, Play Fellow and Paris Prince all made decent moves on the turn at Churchill Down, but the horses in front of them were too strong to catch.

He gave the one bad performance of his career when he bled in the Santa Anita Derby, but when he was treated with Lasix, he finished second m the Kentucky Derby. The ruling also allows Marfa to use Lasix in the race, as well as Desert Wine. Marfa's physical problem appeared to be more serious than those of Sunny's Halo and Desert Wine. The gray colt, who finished fifth as the favorite in Kentucky, cracked his left front hoof during a swift workout on Wednesday, and rash that has been plaguing Sunnys Halo, his condition may give him the edge he needs to capture the second leg of the Triple Crown.
