The 2009 Preakness Predictions Experts of Sports-Odds.com had this to say about Take the Points, Tone it Down and filly Rachel Alexandra, the odds on favorite to win the 2009 Preakness Stakes at Pimlico Race Course today.
11th Post Position 2009 Preakness – Take the Points: The 2009 Preakness Predictions Experts are not giving much respect to Take the Points today at Pimlico with the lone exception of ESPN’s Hammering Hank Goldberg, who selected the colt as a long shot to finish in the money.
Take the Points did not race in the 2009 Kentucky Derby and jockey Edgar Prado seems to be past his prime. SBG Global has Take the Points listed at 35 to 1 odds (Bet $100 to win $3500), which are longer odds then his morning line of 30 to 1. Trained is Todd Pletcher. Jockey is Edgar Prado.
12th Post Position 2009 Preakness – Tone It Down: The 2009 Preakness Predictions Experts do not think bettors should touch long shot Tone It Down today at Pimlico. Bodog.com has Tone It Down listed at 60 to 1 odds (Bet $100 to win $6000), which are longer odds then his morning line of 50 to 1. Trainer is William Komlo. Jockey is Kent Desormeaux
13th Post Position 2009 Preakness – Rachel Alexandra: The general public and the 2009 Preakness Predictions Experts can agree on one thing today and that is that filly Rachel Alexandra is the clear favorite today at Pimlico. The 2009 Preakness Stakes will have a record wagering handle due to her appearance in the race. The 2009 Kentucky Oaks winner is extremely fast and jockey Calvin Borel has won all 6 races he has ridden her, no wonder he chose to pass on riding 2009 Kentucky Derby winner Mine That Bird. When Rachel Alexandra retires, she’ll be bred to two-time Horse of the Year Curlin. Sportsbook.com has Rachel Alexandra listed at 8 to 5 odds (Bet $800 to win $500). Trainer is Steve Asmussen. Jockey is Calvin Borel.
