134 Preakness Stakes odds will include Flying Private, the D. Wayne Lukas trained horse who finished last in the Kentucky Derby. While Private was discounted in the Kentucky Derby you might want to give him some attention in 134 Preakness Stakes betting. Let’s look at the 134 Preakness Stakes betting numbers for Private.
134 Preakness Stakes odds won’t have Flying Private as the favorite but he is not without a chance. Lukas has won five times in Preakness history and Private could be his sixth horse to win. Lukas is not that discouraged after finishing last in the Derby either. He believes his horse still has a chance in 134 Preakness Stakes odds. “He’s fine. All I can put my finger on is that he didn’t handle the track,” Lukas said.
The problem for gamblers who like Flying Private is that other horses in the 134 Preakness Stakes betting field have already beaten him. Papa Clem beat him by six lengths in the Arkansas Derby. The other problem for Flying Private is that his pedigree suggests distance. His sire is Fusaichi Pegasus while is damsire is Unbridled. Fusaichi Pegasus won the Derby in 2000 but really never performed as well as his big price tag suggested he would.
Another major concern for Flying Private in 134 Preakness Stakes odds is that he has never had a great Beyer speed number. Usually a horse needs at least one big Beyer number coming into 134 Preakness Stakes odds and Flying Private doesn’t have one. He sure didn’t do anything in the Kentucky Derby that will give gamblers any confidence, finishing dead last.
Flying Private is going to get attention in 134 Preakness Stakes betting simply because Lukas is the trainer. What should be remembered though is that Lukas has had a lot more failures in the Preakness than successes. He has five wins which sounds great but he has had a lot of starters. His win percentage is actually only about 15% in the Preakness and that is nothing to write home about. Flying Private has the Lukas name on him but not a lot else going for him in terms of 134 Preakness Stakes odds.
