Vote: 130th Preakness Stakes


 Afleet Alx
Despite not winning the Derby, Afleet Alex is your Preakness Stakes favorite.
Not many people are giving Kentucky Derby winner Giacomo a chance to win the Preakness Stakes. Then again, nobody thought the 50-1 longshot would win the Derby either.

On Saturday, Giacomo and 13 other horses will line up for the 130th running of the Preakness Stakes. Afleet Alex was made the 5-2 favorite while Giacomo comes in at 6-1. The last time the Derby winner did not go off as the Preakness favorite was 2001.

Where is your interest level in a possible Triple Crown? Will you be placing a bet? Who will win? Cast your votes now!

  • 1) How does the fact that a longshot (Giacomo) won the Kentucky Derby affect your interest in the Preakness?
  • 2) What are the chances of another longshot winning the Preakness?
  • 3) Should the winner of the Kentucky Derby automatically be the favorite for the Preakness?
  • 4) Pimlico Race Course is in dire need of repair and there is talk of moving the Preakness. Should it be moved?
  • 5) Will you be betting on the Preakness?
  • 6) Who will win the Preakness Stakes?
