2007 Preakness Stakes

The $1million Preakness Stakes runs tomorrow, saturday the 19th of May at Pimlico Racetrack (usa). Last years Preakness was marred by the injury to wonderhorse Barbaro, who sadly could not overcome the odds stacked him after breaking his leg in 3 places on the unforgiving American dirt surface. Barbaro will always be remembered by USA racing fans. There is not alot more that can be said really.

2007 Kentucky Derby winner Street Sense (4/1 uk odds), the 2nd placed Hard Spun (12/1 uk odds) and the 3rd placed Curlin(4/1 uk odds) and the unplaced Circular Quay (7/1 uk odds) reoppose each other in the 2nd leg of the US Triple Crown, albeit at half a furlong shorter on a tighter track (I am told).

The odds this time around are slightly different though, after Street Sense's highly impressive run from last to first in the final 2 furlongs. Steet Sense is now 5/6 favourite at the UK prices put up by Bet365 bookmakers. Hard Spun is a 5/2 shot, while Curlin is a 5/1 chance and Circular Quay is available at 8/s. Curlin was joint favourite last time around by the way.

Hopefully my USA Racing friend Mrracetrack can point me towards the actual winner of the Preakness, fingers crossed.
