With just over three hours until post time, the trainers and jockeys are now getting their horses ready to run the race of their lives at the Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore, Maryland. The 133rd running of the Preakness Stakes is just about underway, folks, and you can be darn sure that I'll have all the race results posted here on my blog.
The favorite to win the Preakness, Big Brown, is the center of attention. A win here today will leave only one more race to win -- the Belmont Stakes -- and with it the Triple Crown. It's been 20 years since any horse has been able to lay claim to the Triple Crown and many believe Big Brown can accomplish that huge task. But for now, he'll have to win here at Pimlico.
"Big Brown has versatility, class and a clear-cut speed edge," says Steve Davidowitz, a regular contributor to DRF's Simulcast Weekly and DRF PLus. "Coming back in two weeks shouldn't really be a problem for such a lightly raced, supremely fit racehorse."
