2006 Preakness
Posted: Wed May 17, 2006 4:11 pmThis weekend, the second leg of the Triple Crown moves from Louisville, Kentucky to my hometown of Baltimore, Maryland. Who wouldn’t trade the stylish hats and mint juleps of Churchill Downs for the tank tops/tube tops and warm Natty Boh of Pimlico? Good ole Charm City. Now that’s more my speed.
Can Barbaro dominate his second race in two weeks? This time he faces a much smaller field that includes already defeated Kentucky Derby runners Brother Derek and Sweetnorthernsaint, as well as 6 new challengers. Barbaro will likely go off as the prohibitive favorite in the run for the black-eyed susans.
131st Preakness Stakes 1 3/16 miles
Horse Jockey Odds
Barbaro E. Prado 2-1
Sweetnorthernsaint K. Desormeaux 5-1
Brother Derek A. Solis 6-1
Bernardini J. Castellano 12-1
Like Now Undecided 15-1
Diabolical R. Dominguez 25-1
Hemingway’s Key J. Rose 30-1
Platinum Couple J. Espinoza 30-1
Greeley’s Legacy Undecided 50-1
