Preakness Stakes Betting in 2009 could be historic if the filly Rachel Alexandra is entered.The filly was recently bought by Curlin’s owner Jess Jackson who has said he will enter the horse in the Preakness if training continues to go well. History will be made in Preakness odds if that is the case.
Preakness betting history tells us that never in the history of the race has a jockey that won the Kentucky Derby got off that horse to ride another in the Preakness. Online betting information tells us that will be the case if Rachel Alexandra is entered as expected in Preakness Stakes betting because her jockey is Calvin Borel who is the jockey of Kentucky Derby winner Mine That Bird. Borel has said he will stick with Rachel Alexandra in Preakness Stakes betting. It is not hard to see why in Preakness Stakes betting. Rachel Alexandra will be the favorite in Preakness odds while Mine That Bird is really the third or fourth choice at best in Preakness betting.
Borel said the choice was really easy in Preakness betting. “She’s a once-in-a-lifetime horse,” he said. Rachel Alexandra has never lost with Borel in the irons at 5-0. She was unreal in winning the Kentucky Oaks by more than 20 lengths. “It came down to the facts that he knows and loves this horse, that he knows how to get the most from her and he knows how to win,” Jackson said. “They were an amazing team at the Kentucky Oaks.”
Preakness betting history would be made with Borel getting off Mine That Bird for Rachel Alexandra. The Kentucky Derby winning trainer understands. “We hate losing Calvin, he’s the reason we’re here,” Bennie Woolley Jr. said. “But these things happen and we’ll move on.”
Preakness betting should be exciting with as many as 14 horses entered in this year’s race. The Preakness betting field for Preakness odds is capped at 14 so there will be no more than that many horses in the Preakness Stakes betting field
Preakness betting odds would have Rachel Alexandra close to an even money online betting favorite over the rest of the field. That includes Mine That Bird who may go off as the third or fourth choice in Preakness odds.
