Preakness Stakes 2007
Triple Crown contender
The Preakness, because it's 110 yards shorter than the Derby, generally brings more actual contenders who can win the race. In the Derby, I figured 9 of the 20 had a chance(less than 50% of the entries). In the Preakness, about 75% of the entries have a chance to win, bringing a good wagering situation.
We've had a chance to see most of them run against one another, but not at this distance and they will not be running with the huge field of 20, like we saw in the Derby. Add to this, the hype of the decisive Kentucky Derby win by Street Sense, who made a great run and instantly became the only Triple Crown contender with that 110 Beyer's run. There are very few over the years, who've run a number that big and came back with another real big one in only 2 weeks.
Finally, the most predictable thing about the Preakness is that win,lose,or draw, Street Sense will be over bet, in all the pools. Bottom line is the Preakness will likely be the best wagering race of the 3 Triple Crown events this year and will produce the highest pay outs for the exotic wagers(Trifecta,Superfecta,Pick 3). Our main job between now and Saturday is to figure the horses most likely to pull the upset and/or run in the money. One thing for sure, as Street Sense takes on money, it will drive the odds higher (more favorably from a wagering perspective) on the other horses, than is reasonable and will set up some fantastic opportunities for the Big Score.
Can Street Sense do it again?
We sure had a great Kentucky Derby this year (check out our winning Trifecta pick), and we're eagerly waiting to see how Street Sense performs. Can she bounce back two weeks after the Derby and give us a potential Triple Crown winner? It'd be the first in almost 30 years, and we can't wait to find out. After seeing his finish in the Derby, we gotta believe there is at least a chance.
