Preakness Stakes Picks

Written by Jimmy Boyd on June 23, 2007

As soon as the Kentucky Derby is finished it’s time for the horse handicappers here at Locksmith Sports to start going over the numbers to find our Preakness Stakes Picks. Two weeks after the Derby there is plenty of time for us to look into each of the horses who will be racing , to read all the coverage, and make our predictions on what horse is going to outlast the others. This is the second prong of the Triple Crown and even though we think we can make reliable Kentucky Derby predictions year after year, this is the race that you can really make some money on with the additional information you receive after the Derby is ran.

This is a little bit shorter of a race at 1 3/16 miles, so you are going to want a horse that has the speed to get out in front and stay ahead of the pack. One thing that we are always asked is if the favorite can win. Everyone wants to see a Triple Crown winner and there is a ton of excitement for this to happen. However, most of the time the value is not with that horse so our Preakness Stakes picks tend to focus on horses that are coming in under the radar. We also note though that in recent years the favorites to win have come through and the Derby winners have teased everyone by taking down the Preakness as well. If we think the favorite is going to come through then you can expect to see us recommending to our clients that exactas, or trifectas are the way to go.

If you are looking for a great racebook this year then we recommend you take a look at bodoglife. bodoglife is one of the best with over 80+ racetracks with posted odds in their racebook.
