Las Vegas odds set for Justify's Triple Crown chance

Given a close Preakness Stakes finish on Saturday, and some tough competition returning in the 2018 Belmont Stakes, you'll hear over the next three weeks plenty about how Justify won't follow in American Pharoah's footsteps as a Triple Crown winner.

But if you believe Las Vegas knows in situations such as these, there's reason to think the dual classic winner can pull off the sweep.

The Wynn Las Vegas on Saturday evening issued the following moneyline on whether Justify can win the Triple Crown:

 Bet #  Odds
 7203 Yes -130
 7204 No +110

At those current prices, those betting "Yes" are asked to risk $130 to win $100. Those betting "No" risk $100 to win $110.

So it's a risk/reward proposition, but it seems the Wynn is banking on another Triple Crown.
