Preakness Stakes betting odds could have the filly Rachel Alexandra as the favorite for the May 16th race at Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore, Maryland. Preakness odds will be greatly impacted by the presence of Rachel Alexandra. Instead of a wide-open Preakness betting field, the filly would get all of the attention from online betting gamblers.
Preakness Stakes betting is normally all about the Kentucky Derby winning horse but not this year. 50-1 longshot winners of the Derby just don’t get much attention. Four years ago it was Giacomo winning the Derby at 50-1 and he got little attention in Preakness Stakes odds and he did not win. Mine That Bird may have won the Derby but not many people at the online sportsbook believe he can win in Preakness online betting.
Other horses that could be contenders along with Rachel Alexandra in Preakness Stakes betting are Kentucky Derby second place finisher Pioneerof the Nile. Third place finisher Musket Man could also get some attention in Preakness Stakes betting. Musket Man has never been off the board in his seven career starts so he could be among the contenders in Preakness Stakes betting. Fourth place Derby horse Papa Clem is also a Preakness Stakes betting contender. He won the Arkansas Derby and that is the route that Curlin used when he won in Preakness betting two years ago.
General Quarters, who finished 10th in the Derby will try and make a better showing in Preakness betting as will last place finisher Flying Private who is trained by D. Wayne Lukas. Both of those horses will have double digit odds though in this year’s Preakness.
Other Preakness betting contenders are Big Drama who won the Swale but was placed second for interference and Hull who is the son of Holy Bull. Hull is unbeaten in three starts this year and has been very impressive for online betting gamblers. Both Big Drama and Hull could get some serious attention in this year’s Preakness. Take The Points is a Todd Pletcher horse that will be on the Preakness odds board. Terrain is another of the newcomers in Preakness Stakes betting. Other horses that could be on the Preakness odds board include Kentucky Derby favorite Friesan Fire who finished 18th, Conservative who was second in the Lexington, European horse Sky Gate and Maryland horse Tone It Down.
