Betting on the Preakness Stakes
Well it?s 2009 and Affirmed is still the last horse to take the Triple Crown of American Thoroughbred Horse Racing, sure Big Brown came close last year, taking the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness Stakes but failing at the Belmont Stakes; Big Brown has since retired.
After odds-on I Want Revenge was scratched from this year?s Kentucky Derby, Mine That Bird came out of post 8 to take the Run for the Roses, cashing in at 50-1 odds.
Looking at the 2009 Preakness Stakes odds at Pimlico racecourse in Baltimore, Maryland this Saturday, Mine That Bird, just like a few weeks ago, is not the odds-on to win the race?the gelding is listed at +450 by SPORTSBETTING.com to take the second leg of this year?s Triple Crown and will run from the second post.
Besides the Kentucky Derby champ, there will be 12 other horses vying for the Belmont Stakes and Rachel Alexandra has been anointed the odds-on favorite.
The filly was listed at -125 by sportsbooks earlier in the week but those odds steepened once post positions were drawn and it was revealed that Rachel would run from post 13.
Calvin Borel, who rode Mine That Bird just a few weeks ago, ditched the Kentucky Derby winner and chose to ride Rachel Alexandra instead.
As the Baltimore Sun said, ?Borel is also the jockey who made history this week by deciding to jump off the Derby winner and return to Rachel Alexandra's saddle, where he has been for her last five victories.?
Here are some other Preakness Stakes notables:
- Pioneerof the Nile placed second at the Kentucky Derby and will run from post No. 9 and is also listed at +450 to win this Saturday.
- Starting from post 3 this week, Musket Man, who took third at Churchill Downs, is listed as a +1000 longshot to win this weekend at Pimlico.
- Papa Clem finished in fourth in Kentucky and will pay out at +800 should he win from post 7 at Baltimore this weekend.
- Big Drama did not run at this year?s Kentucky Derby and will run from post 1 at the Preakness Stakes; the colt is listed as a +1000 longshot to win this year?s race.
- Flying Private and Lov Gov are both the longest shots at +4000 a piece for this Saturday?s race.
