Preakness Preview (May 14th): Big Brown versus twelve in Preakness Stakes

by Jarrod Horak on May 14th, 2008

Post positions have been drawn for the 133rd Preakness Stakes, and undefeated Kentucky Derby hero Big Brown (post 7) has been installed as the 1-2 morning line favorite.

Big Brown deserves to go off at low odds after his smashing Derby victory. He could easily regress two weeks after a career top in the biggest race of the year for his age group, but he is faster than these and will likely prevail anyway.

Late entrant Gayego could give him a scare if he brings his A game. He was thrown off his early/pressing game with early trouble at Churchill Downs, and he is a rebound threat with clear sailing.

Kentucky Bear is lightly raced and has plenty of upside, and Behindatthebar owns nice synthetic form and tries to transfer his sharp races to conventional dirt.

The remaining nine entrants have their work cut out, but they still have to run the race…and stranger things have happened!
