Preakness Stakes Form Guide

As soon as the Preakness Stakes runners are confirmed, we will be profiling several of the leading contenders, one of which may well become Preakness Stakes Champion. There will be several Preakness Stakes free bets available on any one of the horses profiled on this page

The race is restricted to only 14 Preakness Stakes runners, all of which have had to qualify for the race from the various trials that take place all season. One of the runners in the field will almost certainly be the winner of the Kentucky Derby, that took place two weeks prior to this race. Clearly the winner of that race will be on the top of his form and will probably start favourite in the Preakness Stakes odds for this race.

Leading Contenders Form

We take a look at some of the leading contenders for the 2009 Preakness Stakes

Mine That Bird

Shocked the racing world when winning the Kentucky Derby with odds of 50/1 at Churchill Downs two weeks ago. He also won by the longest margin of victory since 1946, suggesting that the run was not a fluke and that the horse is simply a late developer and who is in the form of his life right now.

He had only won one Stakes race prior to this but on his Kentuckky Derby form a line must be put through all past races and he should be judged as the champion that he has become. He will have a great chance to win this and be in line at a tilt for the US Triple Crown.

Papa Clem

Ran a very creditable fourth behind Mine That Bird in the 2009 Kentucky Derby where he showed prominent in the first part of the race. He is very speedy and may be suited more by the distance in this race than in Derby.

Rachel Alexandra

The winner of the Kentucky Oaks, this filly comes to the Preakness Stakes with a big reputation and is favourite to beat the colts in the big race. She is an unbeaten five win streak and is likely to be ridden by her regular jockey, Calvin Borel, meaning that he will be giving up his chances on the Triple Crown, by deserting Kentucky Derby winner, Mine That Bird. She is currently a 11/10 chance to win
