The 137th Preakness Stakes is set to take place this coming Saturday, exactly two weeks after I’ll Have Another took down an unlikely victory at the Kentucky Derby. I’ll Have Another was at 12/1 to win the Kentucky Derby, but pulled it out by catching favorite Bodemeister down the stretch. The Preakness is a shorter race (9.5 furlongs as opposed to 10) so many racing experts are still giving Bodemeister the nod as the favorite in this one.
