The second jewel of America's Triple Crown of Thoroughbred Horse Racing will be run this Saturday, 19 May, at Pimlico Race Course, outside of Baltimore, Maryland. The one and three-sixteenths mile long race is a little bit shorter than the Kentucky Derby, and 5/16ths shorter than the Belmont Stakes, the last part of the Triple Crown races. The post positions have been drawn, and morning-line betting odds posted. There are only 8 colts racing in this race, four continuing on from the Derby, and four newcomers. All of these boys were born in Kentucky; everyone carries 126 pounds.
In post position 1 is Quip, a dark bay or brown colt, sired by Distorted Humor; odds of 12 to 1.
Post two is Lone Sailor, a dark bay or brown colt, sired by Majestic Warrior; odds of 15 to 1.
Post three is Sporting Chance, a dark bay or brown colt, sired by Tiznow; odds of 30 to 1.
Post four is Diamond King, a bay colt, sired by Quality Road; odds at 30 to 1.
Post five is Good Magic, a chestnut colt sired by Curlin; odds at 3 to 1.
Post six is Tenfold, a bay colt sired by Curlin; odds at 20 to 1.
Post seven is Justify, the chestnut colt by Scat Daddy; odds are 1 to 2.
Post eight is Bravazo, a dark bay or brown colt, sired by Awesome Again; odds are 20 to 1.
Justify, who broke from post 7 and won the Derby, is back in post 7 for the Preakness.
Good Magic finished second in the Derby, breaking from post 6; he's in the 5 hole Saturday.
Lone Sailor broke from post 8 in the Derby, and finished eighth.
Bravazo broke from post 13 in the Derby and finished sixth.
Jockey Mike Smith will once again be riding Justify.
