"Dabo" takes to Arlington Park's main track May 14
Clemson has long had a solid football team. They won 19 conference championships between their founding in 1896 and 1991, and even a national championship after a 12-0 season in 1981. However, through the 1990s they began to tail off. They failed to finish the season in the top 25 in every season from 1994 through 1999, and even though they made four bowls through that time frame, they were routed each time. The beginning of the 2000s brought a gradual upswing, but conference championships and national prominence still eluded them.

How to bet against the Preakness 146 favorite
A field of 10 will aim for racing glory in Saturday’s $1 million Preakness S. (G1) at Pimlico. #3 Medina Spirit (9-5), the slight morning-line choice after finishing first in the Kentucky Derby (G1), could very well be the favorite when the gates open for the second leg of the Triple Crown. The Florida-bred ran his best race to date at Churchill Downs two weeks prior and will be as fit as any horse in the field. But for those who are not in love with the son of Protonico, there are many other alternatives to pursue in the Preakness.

Santa Anita: How to bet the Lazaro Barrera Stakes May 15
The feature of a 10-race card at Santa Anita on Saturday is the $100,000 Lazaro Barrera S. (G3). A compact field of four sophomores will go postward in the 6 ½-furlong dirt dash, led by what I think are two really nice youngsters who each have bright futures. I see it as a two-horse race inside the final furlong, ultimately, with that duo.

Churchill Downs: How to bet the Louisville Stakes May 15
A huge field of 14 will contest the feature at Churchill Downs on Saturday, the $150,000 Louisville S. (G3). The 1 ½-mile grassy endeavor is led by deserving favorite #10 Arklow (7-5), who missed by a head in the race last campaign. A Grade 1 winner, the seven-year-old son of Arch is an obvious inclusion for most wagers, but I feel compelled to find value in an event with this many contenders signed on. And I will swing for the fences.
