2013 Preakness Stakes Pace Scenarios
by Trevor Whenham - 5/15/2013
The pace scenario for the Preakness in 2013 seems to be reasonably straightforward. Of course, the same could have been said for the Kentucky Derby, and one horse blew it all to pieces. Palace Malice, one of the five Todd Pletcher horses in that race, was probably sent to the front early to keep the pace honest for Verrazano and Revolutionary behind. Read More >>
Fresh Horses in the 2013 Preakness Stakes
by Trevor Whenham - 5/15/2013
You might think that picking a horse to win the Preakness that didn't run in the Kentucky Derby would make sense. After all, the Derby is a truly brutal test for horses, and the two-week rest following that race is far less than horses are used to now. While there seems to be logic there, history has not proven that to be the case. In the last 29 years of the Preakness, we have seen just three horses that won without having run in the Derby.

2013 Preakness Stakes Jockeys
by Trevor Whenham - 5/14/2013
Jockeys may be small, but they are almost impossibly tough. They are also very interesting. For bettors they are important, too. A good ride can turn a decent horse into a champion, and a bad ride can make a bum out of a superstar. As you get ready to handicap the little guys (and gal) in the 2013 Preakness Stakes, here's a look at some of what each of them bring to the table: Read More >>

When you get a collection of top horses contesting a Triple Crown race, you can be all but certain that there will be a cast of fascinating characters training them. Though the field is small this year, the 2013 Preakness Stakes trainers certainly don't disappoint this year: Read More >>
2013 Preakness Stakes Picks Profile: Departing
by Trevor Whenham - 5/13/2013
He comes into the race off of a strong win in the Illinois Derby on April 20. After settling well off the pace early on, he made his move around the final turn, was in the lead by the top of the stretch, and only strengthened that lead down the stretch, though jockey Brian Hernandez never let up the pressure on the horse.

2013 Preakness Stakes Betting Advice: Itsmyluckyday
by Trevor Whenham - 5/13/2013
It was a very bad day for Itsmyluckyday in the Kentucky Derby. He galloped along mid-pack for the first six furlongs and was running the race he needed to. When it came time to flip the switch and start moving forward, though, there was nothing left. He looked far more tired down the stretch than he really should have and faded back to an irrelevant 15th by the finish line. Read More >>
2013 Preakness Stakes Predictions: Mylute
by Trevor Whenham - 5/13/2013
Mylute was a respectable fifth-place finisher in the Kentucky Derby, grabbing the last of the prize money in the race. The connections would have hoped for more, obviously, but it was a solid race. He sat at the back of the pack early on, beating only Java's War through early fractions. Read More >>
2013 Preakness Stakes Betting Profile: Orb
by Trevor Whenham - 5/13/2013
As you probably know if you are reading this preview, Orb was last seen wearing roses after winning this year's Kentucky Derby. He was the post time favorite and seemingly the class of the field. He proved that to be true. Read More >>

How to Bet the Preakness Stakes 2013
by Trevor Whenham - 5/8/2013
Part of what makes the Triple Crown so fascinating as a betting challenge is how different each race is. The Preakness Stakes comes just two weeks after the Kentucky Derby, but it couldn't be more different for bettors - even though it features many of the same horses. If you approach the two races in the same way, you are going to be in trouble in at least one of them. Here are four adjustments to keep in mind as you try to figure out how to bet the Preakness this year: Read More >>
2013 Preakness Stakes Betting Tips
by Trevor Whenham - 5/7/2013
I want to see a Triple Crown winner more than I want to see anything else in sports. That can blind me to all horses other than the one who was just wearing roses. For many years I had a strict policy. I made just one Preakness bet no matter what - the Derby winner to win. At times that has been a profitable approach - even over longer periods - but it isn't generally a strong approach. For every time you get to bet on a horse like Big Brown or I'll Have Another, you also end up with a real dud like Giacomo or Monarchos. Read More >>
Can Orb win the Triple Crown?
by Trevor Whenham - 5/6/2013
Every year as soon as the Kentucky Derby ends there is only one question that I ask myself - can the winner win the Triple Crown? There is nothing I want to see more in sports than a Triple Crown. I automatically become the biggest fan of the Derby winner, but some years that is easier to get behind than others. So, can Orb end the long drought and become the first Triple Crown winner since Affirmed in 1978? Yes. Will he? That's a more complicated question. Let's look at the arguments on both sides: Read More >>
2013 Preakness Stakes Handicapping: Early Look
by Trevor Whenham - 5/6/2013
There will be plenty of changes between now and post time of the Preakness on Saturday, May 18. At this point, though, it doesn't seem like the very impressive Kentucky Derby win by Orb has scared too many people off - other than Todd Pletcher. Pletcher had five horses in the 20-horse Derby field, but he is planning to send none to Pimlico. Read More >>
2012 Preakness Stakes Betting Props with Odds and Predictions
by T.O. Whenham - 5/18/2012
There isn't nearly as much prop betting action for the middle leg of the Triple Crown as there is for the Kentucky Derby. Sportsbooks do offer some different Preakness props, though, and some can provide interesting value. Here's a look at some of the more interesting ones from BetUS this week: Read More >>
2012 Preakness Stakes Post Positions Analysis and Handicapping
by Robert Ferringo - 5/17/2012
The Preakness Stakes post position draw and analysis has become a convenient talking point for mainstream sports media bobbleheads and wannabe horse racing handicappers over the past 24 hours. But the truth of the matter is that after the Kentucky Derby the post draw really has very little to do with how the second and third legs of the Triple Crown are run. Read More >>

As is the case is every horse race ever run, the most important story here in the 2012 Preakness Stakes is the projected pace scenario. You have to be able to figure out how the race is likely to be run so you can figure out how that benefits some horses and handicaps others. Read More >>
2012 Preakness Stakes Jockeys: Analysis and Handicapping Profile
by T.O. Whenham - 5/17/2012
You could argue - probably quite convincingly - that the jockeys don't play quite as important a role in the Preakness as they do in the Kentucky Derby or the Belmont. In the first race of the Triple Crown the jockey has to stay out of an incredible amount of potential trouble, while in the Belmont they have to judge how to handle the potentially crippling distance.

2012 Triple Crown: Horses That Can Win the Preakness Stakes
by Robert Ferringo - 5/16/2012
Every trainer and owner that enters a mount at Pimlico thinks that it has a horse that can win the Preakness Stakes. But history has shown us that unless you are one of the cream of the crop rides in the Triple Crown's shortest leg then your odds to win the Preakness are actually much longer than even the books are willing to admit.
