Pimlico - (Thoroughbred Mess): Eat your heart out, Kentucky Derby hero Big Brown.
The 'Millenium Bug' computer hoax mastermind Satish Sanan is out to make another killing, this time at the Preakness Stakes at Pimlico.
His $140,000 Ocala Breeders' Sales purchase Behindatthebar bred by Dr Frank Justice and Meadow Oaks Farm is vying for glory over the superlatives-exhausted Big Brown.
Sanan and Padua Stables reckon their colt will wipe the smile off IEAH Stable and Paul Pompa, Jr's faces on Saturday.
The Forest Wilcat-sired 10-1 shot skipped the Churchill Downs Blue Riband on May 3rd to prepare for this showdown.
The owners and their trainer Todd A Pletcher have mortgaged their souls for the 133rd running of the Preakness and stand to win a record-busting $50 fortune when their Coolmore Lexington Stakes winner trounces Big Brown to the finishing line.
Satish Sanan is convinced his little baby will score bigtime this weekend.
"I have that same gut feeling as when I sold the CIA the Millenium Bug hoax that earned me $400 million," Sanan smiled today.
"The entire IT industry knew it was a scam. But an essential GOP scam to erase all traces of criminality from the 2000 Bush/Cheney dream ticket.
"I scored bigtime then and remain just as convinced my four-legged babe will do me proud at the Preakness."
Big Brown's jockey Kent Desormeaux is in stitches at the very idea.
