Preakness Stakes this Saturday
May 13, 2008
Leg two of the Triple Crown is racing this weekend, with the 133rd running of the Preakness Stakes.
Can Big Brown back up from the Kentucky Derby win?
He'll be in the white colors with blue and red stars and stripes - so is sure to be a favorite amongst patriotic punters.
Our advice is to keep an eye on the Kentucky Derby winners and contenders - even though just two weeks separate the two races, horses that started the Derby are usually still in strong form.
The Bodog Sportsbook has Big Brown as a $1.25 favorite currently. Odds will be sure to come down over the next few days leading up to Saturday's race, but the next closest contender is Behaindatthebar at $11.00.
Bodog Sportsbook is offering a pretty cool bet option seeing as Big Brown is such a dominant favorite to win the race. They are offering odds for a horse to win the race, excluding Big Brown - so you're pretty much betting that your pick will run second. Behindthebar, Giant Moon and Hey Byrn will be your best picks for that one and are paying 5, 8 and 8 dollars respectively.
Did you know that the Preakness is the shortest of the Triple Crown races at 1 & 3/16 miles (9.5 furlongs). Read more about the Triple Crown here.
