Preakness Stakes Saturday

This Saturday, The Preakness Stakes will be run with Big Brown as the heavy favorite. Nobody here is going to go against him after watching the dominating performance that he put in at The Kentucky Derby.

The only wagering opportunity that may offer some value, is the exotics. There are some decent payoff potentials with putting Big Brown on top in exactas, trifectas and superfectas. If you think that somehow he might get beat, key him in the first and second spot. Gayego will probably be second choice, and he should be included in exotics. Other contenders are Kentucky Bear and Hey Byrn. Another longshot with an outside chance to finish in the top 4 is Racecar Rhapsody.

Enjoy the race. I will just root for Big Brown to win for what is probably our best shot at a Triple Crown winner in some time. Horse racing needs a hero, a superhorse to bring some much needed positive attention to the sport.
