Fourteen horses will line up at the starting gate at Pimlico Race Course in just over a week for the $1 million Preakness Stakes. Of course 2010 Kentucky Derby winner Super Saver will be in the starting gate for the 2010 Preakness Stakes and the Triple Crown hopeful is likely to go off as the race favorite after his impressive performance at Churchill Downs

2010 Preakness Field Early Look
In his first trip to the track since his victory in the first leg of the Triple Crown on Saturday, WinStar Farm’s homebred Super Saver looked like anything but a tired horse as he jogged an easy mile over the Churchill Downs strip Wednesday morning. “He came out of it well; I’m actually surprised how well,” said trainer Todd Pletcher, who saddled his first Derby winner in Super Saver. “It’s always tough when you have to run back (in the Preakness) on short rest, but all the signs we’re seeing are very positive.” Super Saver is scheduled to head to Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore for the Preakness Stakes on a flight on May 12, but just who will be alongside the son of Maria’s Mon is to be determined

Last night I had the pleasure of listening to Duke Coach Mike Krzyzewski speak to a sold out crowd in Rapid City, SD as he was the guest speaker for the John T. Vucurevich foundation. I never thought that I would get to see Coach K clear out here where I am from (90 miles from Rapid City) and I was lucky enough to find a couple of tickets to the event on craigslist the night before the event

Post player Tyler Adams has announced that he will be attending Duke University and be part of the 2011 signing class for the Duke Blue Devils. Adams can bang down low with his 6′9 260 lb frame. Word is that Adams can still add on some muscle to that frame so expect a big boy when he arrives in Durham for the 2012 season.

Hopefully we will have two more game recaps in the next week and be talking about the Duke Blue Devils as the 2010 NCAA Champions!

Duke’s defense was huge on Sunday afternoon as the Blue Devils shut down a hot shooting CAL team in the second round of the NCAA tournament to advance to the Sweet 16 where they will take on Purdue. Nolan Smith slapped the floor in Jacksonville to get the defense going and he shut down the PAC10 player of the year Jerome Randle as he only allowed Randle to score 12 points. Smith on the other hand scored a team high 20 points as the Blue Devils posted a 68-53 victory. “I wanted to pick him up as early as I could,” Smith said.
