The 2012 Kentucky Derby winner is going to be the horse that we all have our eyes on this coming weekend. I’ll Have Another (Odds To Win Preakness: 3 to 1 at JustBet Sportsbook) is going to once again be amongst the favorites on the odds to win the Preakness Stakes, but it is going to be difficult for him to repeat. We all saw this horse basically outrun some of the front running horses at the end of the Kentucky Derby, but it wasn’t the greatest trip in the world. Getting through this race would set up a very reasonable shot at the Triple Crown, but we just don’t know if it is going to happen or not. We think that I’ll Have Another will have a good chance of hitting the board, but in the end, he isn’t the best three-year old colt in the field, and it will probably show.

Until the Preakness Stakes post positions get drawn on Wednesday, we aren’t going to have odds to win the Preakness Stakes posted on all of the other horses in the field. That doesn’t mean that we can’t do some prognostication, though. The horse that was the favorite at the Kentucky Derby is one that we love here at Pimlico. Bodemeister (2012 Preakness Odds: Off The Board at SportBet Sportsbook) is going to have a great shot to get the job done on Saturday. He is going to get out to the lead once again, but this time around, there shouldn’t be as much speed in the race pushing him to such insanely fast fractions as he ran at Churchill Downs. That means that Bodemeister is going to have some more stamina at the end of the race, and even if he didn’t and ran the exact same race that he had at the Derby, he would still be the winner. An inside post position for Bodemeister would be ideal, and if he gets that draw, he is going to be the most dangerous and most likely horse to head to the winner’s circle.

Past Preakness Winners (Since 2000)
*Denotes Winner of the Kentucky Derby
2011 Preakness Stakes Winner: Shackleford
2010 Preakness Stakes Winner: Lookin At Lucky

2008 Preakness Stakes Winner: Big Brown*
2007 Preakness Stakes Winner: Curlin
2006 Preakness Stakes Winner: Bernardini
2005 Preakness Stakes Winner: Afleet Alex
2004 Preakness Stakes Winner: Smarty Jones*
2003 Preakness Stakes Winner: Funny Cide*
2002 Preakness Stakes Winner: War Emblem*
2001 Preakness Stakes Winner: Point Given
2000 Preakness Stakes Winner: Red Bullet

This has the potential to be a very tough race to handicap, knowing that of the 20 horses that were in the Kentucky Derby field, just three are confirmed thus far to be racing in the 2012 Preakness Stakes. The only other colt at this point is Daddy Nose Best (Current Preakness Odds: Off The Board at SportBet Sportsbook). This was a horse that had a lot of action on it late on two Saturdays ago, and that might be the case once again. There will be less traffic this time around, and that means that Daddy Nose Best shouldn’t be in a position where he gets bumped and forced to the far outside. He’ll be a bit of a stalker, which will be a difficult spot to be in to win this race, but this is definitely a colt that has a shot of taking the second leg of the Triple Crown.
