141st Preakness Stakes: Nyquist Favored for Second Jewel of the Triple Crown - Handicappers Hideaway

The running of the 141st Preakness Stakes is set for Saturday, May 21 at
Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore. The spotlight will be on Kentucky
Derby winner Nyquist, as he goes for the second jewel of the Triple
Crown of Horse Racing.

Nyquist is undefeated, with seven graded stakes wins since breaking his
maiden last June. He will likely be challenged by Exaggerator, who has
yet to beat Nyquist in four head-to-head starts, including the San
Vicente Stakes and the Kentucky Derby, both of which he placed second.
He is 9/2 to win the Preakness as we go to press.



However, all eyes will definitely be on Nyquist, who's the 5/8 favorite
to win the Preakness, and there are already prop bets that will allow
you to wager on him winning the Triple Crown (yes is 2/1). This would be
great for horse racing because it would produce back-to-back Triple
Crown wins, following American Pharoah's 2015 success. The last Triple
Crown win before American Pharoah came in 1978, which was the second of
back-to-back wins after Seattle Slew won it in 1977.



The Preakness is the shortest of the Triple Crown races at 9.5 furlongs.
It's set to go off at Pimlico at 6:18 PM ET with NBC providing the
coverage.
