    Wow, what a thorough report. It really makes me want to watch it. Unfortunately for me, I've got to go to a wedding and graduation. Well, not unfortunate really, fortunate for these parties, but just bad timing for me.

  • R K LoBello5/14/2010

    Should be an exciting race.

  • Cynthia Ann5/14/2010

    Yikes, Tony! I looked into this as it made me curious as well. Here is what I found out: It is named after the race horse that won the inaugural race at Pimlico in 1870, the horse's name came from a corruption of a Delaware Indian word Pra-qua-les, meaning quail woods.

    Great information for those who follow these issues. I, as with the other commentators, am in the dark on racing (horses or cars). Still enjoyed the information. You are obviously well up to date on the matter.

  • Tony Payne5/14/2010

    Hmmm - "Preak" in the Urban Dictionary means a "Horny Freak" or Pervert. Eeek!

  • Tony Payne5/14/2010

    Good information. It always makes me wonder where the word "preakness" comes from and what on earth it means. I can understand that "neatness" refers to someone who is neat and tidy, "tiredness" to someone who is tired, but what does "preaky" mean? Is it a corruption of "perky"? I doubt the race is about the perkies horses, although it could be. Must look in the dictionary to see what it says about Preak and Preaking. Maybe there are songs about it like "Don't go Preaking my heart" lol :) Sorry - it's just one of those words that has irritated me for years...
