The 2010 Preakness Stakes odds makers at 0nline racebook BODOG.com have Caracortado listed as a 12 to 1 long shot. Caracortado will be making his first start since April 3 and the big question is how will be perform after the lay off running out of the ninth post position. "I don't think he's (Caracortado) under the radar, I think he's the smart horse that a lot of guys are looking at," stated trainer and breeder Mike Machowsky. "He's fresh, and he's drawn well (post No. 9), and it's been a tough campaign already for a lot of horses that had to run in the Derby."
Todd Pletcher's Aikenite is running out of the first post position in the 2010 Preakness Stakes. The Post-Star's Horse Racing Picks Expert Kyle Brownell made the following 2010 Preakness Stakes Picks which included 25 to 1 long shot Aikenite at online racebook BODOG.com: "1st — Lookin At Lucky; 2nd — Super Saver; 3rd — Aikenite; 4th — First Dude."
Another long shot coming in at 22 to 1 odds that is getting a look is First Dude . Jockey Ramon Dominguez will get the mount for First Dude today running out of the eleventh post position in the 2010 Preakness Stakes . "I'd actually wanted to run First Dude in the Derby because he was doing so well after the Blue Grass, and I thought he could've been an impact player," stated trainer Dale Romans who has two horses running in the 2010 Preakness Stakes (First Dude and Paddy O'Prado). "But obviously he couldn't get in because of earnings. Maybe the extra time will help him. He sure worked good this morning."
