Preakness Preview and Odds

A preview and odds for this weekend's Preakenss.

From Bookmake.eu

"This race is shaping up to be Justify vs. The Field. Gamblers tend to get caught up in the chase for the Triple Crown, and historically we tend to see the majority of the action at the Preakness fall on the winner of the Kentucky Derby. This year looks to be no different. Undefeated Justify is the 1-2 favorite after impressing with a dominant performance at Churchill Downs and facing one of the smallest fields in recent years. One of our most popular props is "Will Justify win the Preakness (Yes -245/No +195) with the overwhelming majority of players siding in the affirmative.  While most of the early action has been on Justify, we have seen a surprising number of big money wagers on 20-1 Bravazo, and 15-1 Lone Sailor. Preakness is a challenging race to book. If the favorite wins, it's not a great day, if a horse with greater than 20-1 odds wins, you tend to get crushed. So we should be rooting for Good Magic, Quip, or Lone Sailor to win on Saturday. However to further complicate it, if Justify wins the Preakness we are probably looking at taking a loss for the day; but, it will easily quadruple our handle for the Belmont Stakes due to the increased attention for the pursuit of the Triple Crown. So if we have to choose between a long shot or Justify winning, we are behind Justify all the way."
