Stand up and celebrate Baltimore! The 2013 People's Party is rolling along and the Main Event is less than one hour away. Whether you are fortunate enough to be at Pimlico race track, or a regional Maryland OTB bureau, or if you're betting the big race at an online Racebook like the one at bovada.lv, the 138th Preakness Stakes race will garner a global focus today. Post time for the second jewel of the Triple Crown Racing Series is 6:20 PM ET on May 18, 2013.
Although he came into the Kentucky Derby with a lot more fan fair, not to mention lower odds, Orb reminds us 2012 Triple Crown contender I'll Have Another. While handicappers may have had a tough time pin-pointing a "super horse" in the field of 19 in the Run for the Roses, the powerful Orb looks like he'll be tough to beat today. Running out of PP #16 at Churchill Downs, Orb avoided the electric pace early (and a lot of the mud) and then mowed down the field late.
Mylute is a contender we'll be backing in our exotic wagers today as this bay colt was a gaining fifth in the Derby. Running neck and neck in the slop with Orb for most of the Derby, Mylute stands to pull off the upset on a fast dirt track at Pimilico today. Piloted by Lady Jockey Rosie Napravnik, who is a very appealing mix of brains, brawn, and beauty, Mylute can make history by carrying the first female jockey to the Preakness Stakes winners circle at the People's Party!
