Much like the evasiveness of the 1972 Miami Dolphins undefeated winnings streak the Triple Crown is one sports’s hardest prizes to capture. Sone horsebetting experts have wondered if the Triple Crown will ever be won again. It’s been 30 years since the last Triple Crown winner, the biggest Triple Crown drought in horse racing history. Big Brown the odds-on favorite is at 1-3 betting odds for The Preakness 2008. at Bodoglife.com.

The next great, majestical horse that wins the Triple Crown will keep the same company as all-time great horse Secretariat. With the Preakness stakes this Saturday afternoon one must not forget that the loss of the Triple Crown isn’t always at the Belmont. Many horses fail in the Triple Crown Preakness Stakes at Pimlico. Some horse owners wish that horses have to run in the  Kentucky Derby and the Preakness Stakes even to run at Belmont.

Will we see a Triple Crown winner in 2008? Kentucky Derby winner Big Brown runs with perfect efficiency, rhythm and power of a horse that could go down in history. Since 1989 12 horses have won the 2 of three at either the Kentucky Derby, Preakness or Belmont only to fail and just miss the glory. Will this year be the end of the Triple Crown drought?

This field of Preakness Stakes contenders looks overmatched on paper to Kentucky Derby winner Big Brown but before ruling all of the Preakness Stakes contenders out her are some betting tips for the race at Pimlico. The Preakness Stakes are 1\16th of a mile shorter than the Kentucky Derby so it is tailor made for speed horses. Bet on the Preakness Stakes at BoDoglife.com.

Front runners and stalkers that race close to the leader have a good shot at Pimlico. The Preakness is traditionally won by a contender that is on the front end. Another factor is the horses bloodlines. Blue-chip level Preakness Contenders are usually the ones that win this race. Strictly A-level horses win this race, no B or B- talent wins here. Don’t be to put off if a horse did poorly in their previous, Pimlico has a reputation for bounce performances.

Local Maryland Preakness Stakes contenders have also run especially well at Pimlico. One overlooked intangible is the trainer. Find a Preakness contender that has a blue-chip trainer and you have a shot at winning.

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.

BodogLife.com has the best Odds to win the 2008 Preakness Stakes at Pimlico:

Behindatthebar: 10/1

Gayego: 14/1

Kentucky Bear: 14/1

Yankee Bravo: 20/1

Hey Byrn: 25/1

Macho Again: 25/1

Giant Moon: 40/1

Icabad Crane: 40/1

Tres Borrachos: 50/1

Racecar Rhapsody: 50/1

Stevil: 50/1

Riley Tucker: 50/1

The average Preakness Stakes winner averages 111 on the speed Beyer on the 1 3\16 mile course. The take on 2007
Preakness Stakes Betting Odds was over $87 million at the track last year. Most horses that win the Preakness Stakes are speed horses that have blue-chip talent. Over 50% of the winning horses at Pimlico were odds-on favorites. The winner of this year’s race at Pimlico will have the ability to stalk early and close late with lightning speed. I saw a horse that could do both of those in the Kentucky Derby named Big Brown. Everybody wants to see a glamourous Triple Crown winner but the fact is that the long course at Belmont is a gravesite for Triple Crown hopefuls since 1978.
