Take the Points could have been entered in the Derby but from the looks of things that would have just added to the misery of Pletcher in the Derby. The decision to race him in Preakness Stakes wagering looks better. "When we looked at it from all angles, we decided the best way to go with Take the Points was the Preakness," said Pletcher, "That race gives him two extra weeks, a shorter distance to work with and a track where we think his tactical style will work to his best advantage. In the end, we just thought it was the right choice."
Take the Points has two wins in six career starts and $156,190 in earnings. Take The Points is likely to have his regular jockey, Alex Solis in Preakness Stakes wagering. Pletcher believes his horse is training well and just needs a little bit of improvement to go the winner’s circle in Preakness Stakes wagering. “The horse is doing very well; that part of it is good,” Pletcher said. “He’s run competitively in all his races this year. The thing that we need to have happen is for him to move forward two or three lengths. We worked him in blinkers the last two times, so maybe that’s the little bit that’s going to get him that surge forward that he needs.”
Preakness Stakes lines will have Take The Points as one of the underdogs in this year’s Preakness. That does not bode well for Take The Points in Preakness Stakes wagering since the favorite in the Preakness wins just over half the time.
