Preakness 2013 Morning Line

Will Orb win his sixth straight race in the 2013 Preakness and move one step closer to becoming the first horse since Affirmed did it 35 years ago to win the Triple Crown? That is the question on everyone's mind as we move to only nine days out from racing's Middle Jewel. A lukewarm favorite in the Derby, bettors figure to flock to the impressive winner at Churchill Downs, and that is reflected in Orb's big favoritism in the odds below. Normandy Invasion, the horse who led the Kentucky Derby field early in the stretch, and hot new shooter, Departing, should vie for second choice at Pimlico. While the official field may still change a bit (entries for the Preakness will be taken and post positions drawn on Wednesday, May 15), this probable field should be very close to what we see on May 18.
