After all the hoopla and controversy surrounding horse racing, a few years back with Barbaro, and more recently Eight Belles, the racing world prepares for this weekend’s Pimlico, the sight for the 133rd Preakness States. Kentucky Derby winner Big Brown is an early favorite to win the Preakness Stakes, which would in-turn set the stage for a shot at the Triple Crown later this year, at the Belmont Stakes. BodogLife.com has the best Odds to win the 2008 Preakness Stakes at Pimlico.  

Big Brown is 1/4 early odds favorite to win this weekend’s Preakness Stakes race. If so, BB will be looking to add his name in the history books (in three weeks), at the Belmont Stakes.

For Brown, this race will be a bit different than the KD. Brown will try his luck, at running in the middle lane, in contrary to the outside lane, where he had so much success in the K-Derby.

Winning the Kentucky Derby, and two weeks later winning the Preakness, is no walk in the park. Only 1969’s Majestic Prince, 1977’s (Triple Crown winner) Seattle Slew, and 2004’s Smarty Jones have been victorious in the Preakness, as undefeated Derby winners.
