Elio Cashes The Preakness From A Dance Recital

TLDR: Napoleon Solo crossed the wire at 7-1 to take the 151st Preakness, and the loudest victory lap belongs to a guy who spent the afternoon stuck at a dance recital without WiFi.

  1. Then came Saturday, and the real twist: while horseplayers were glued to NBC, Elio was reportedly stuck at a kid's dance recital with no signal. Napoleon Solo ran the 151st Preakness down at 7-1 anyway, and the original Stool Streams syndicate member nailed it without even being able to watch it live.

    NAPOLEON SOLO WINS THE PREAKNESS

    The aftermath was peak Elio. He made it home, took the lap from Portnoy congratulating the pick, and then dropped the line that should be stitched on a pillow at Pimlico — that with WiFi at the recital, the new track might be his.

    This is exactly the kind of weekend that keeps people locked into horse racing twice a year. A scratched Derby favorite, a 7-1 winner, a Barstool guy putting his name on it 24 hours early, and a punchline about missing the WiFi window at a kid's recital. Bring on Belmont.
