The 133rd Preakness Stakes takes place a 6 PM EST live from Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore, Maryland.Post Position 12 - Gayego Jockey – P Lobo Trainer – M Smith See what the Preakness Betting Experts have to say about Gayego: “I hate it when a horse is added to a race of this magnitude two days prior to entries,” stated Preakness Betting Expert Anthony Stabile of VegasInsider.com. “I think his connections are looking for equine frequent flier miles. And let's not forget he's your probable second choice. A great horse to get out of the exotics, which is exactly what I'm going to try and do.” “Gayego, 8-1, unfortunately will break from post 12. The son of Gilded Time finished 17th in the Derby, but trainer Paulo Lobo pointed out he didn’t overexert himself after a sluggish start from the 19th post,” stated Horse Racing Expert Greg Melikov of HorsingAround.info. “He was steadied in traffic during the first quarter-mile and a bit rank behind Big Brown while very wide on the first turn. Gayego, 8-1, post 12: Can hit the board if he stays out of trouble and manages a clean trip. Adding blinkers should keep him focused.” SportsBetting.com has posted their 2008 Preakness Betting Odds: Behindatthebar: 7 - 1 Big Brown: 1 - 3 Gayego: 8 - 1 Giant Moon: 30 - 1 Hey Byrn: 25 - 1 Icabad Crane: 20 - 1 Kentucky Bear: 9 - 1 Macho Again: 28 - 1 Racecar Rhapsody: 30 - 1 Riley Tucker: 20 - 1 Stevil: 30 – 1 Tres Borrachos: 30 – 1 Yankee Bravo: 15 - 1                        |
