Well the cool thing about the "Preakness" is that some horse has a chance to win the Triple Crown! But don't count on it this year again
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++
"Bodemiester" is the real favorite in this race at 1 and 3/16ths mile (a bit shorter than the KY Derby).
Pimlico is a notoriously soft track (older and deeper dirt) - it makes it harder for the late chargers.
If I was betting my own money I'd bet on Bode to win - but since I'm not - I'll take "Creative Cause"...with "Bodemiester" in second.
I think "I'll have Another" ran the race of his life in the Derby and will come in middle of the pack at best - he won't get the "grab" at Pimlico. If you're picking a trifecta I'd go Creative Cause..Bode..Zetterholm (fresh).
