Preakness Stakes betting odds almost always include the hope of a Triple Crown since the Kentucky Derby winner normally is in the race. While that will be the case again in 2009 Preakness Stakes wagering, not many people believe the chances of winning a Triple Crown will still be alive when the race is over.

While Mine That Bird won by the largest margin in 63 years in the Kentucky Derby his speed figure was low, the race was in the slop and he got a dream ride.
