In what is known as the second jewel in the Triple Crown of Horse racing, the Preakness happens later today down at Pimlico Race-track in Baltimore, Maryland. 14 horses will go at it in this particular race.(Its good to know that this is not the only race of the day. It happens to be race 12 out of 13; Of course this is by far the most important one of the day. It is afterall, the 136th Preakness Stakes. It also happens to be the one with worth the most in terms of how much the winner gets. {Million dollar purse.})
Anyways, to cut to the chase: I'm choosing 'Shackleford' to win by a nose over 'Midnight Interlude'.
That's my pick. I think I'll play an exacta and then just 'Shackleford' straight up to win. He might be the fastest horse in the race and he led for most of the Kentucky Derby before being soundly beaten but here the track length for this race is much shorter. If he can get out a head and get a clean run or if he sits behind Astrology and then takes him late I think he's got a good chance. How ever the hell he does is just fine with me.
So now you know. Place your bets. Let's all go win money.
