Preakness Odds: Can Kentucky Bear (14/1) Challenge Favorite Big Brown?
Big Brown, this year’s Kentucky Derby winner, faces 12 probable challengers at Saturday’s Preakness Stakes in Baltimore in his bid to become the first thoroughbred since Affirmed in 1978 to win horse racing’s Triple Crown. BEHINDATTHEBAR’s come-from-behind win in the Lexington Stakes at Churchill Downs two weeks before the Derby showed a style of running that is well suited to Pimlico and the mile-and-three-sixteenths distance. Trained by the skillful Todd Pletcher, the bay colt skipped the Derby and was aimed directly for this race.
