Todd Pletcher’s Super Saver showed that he could handle the muddy terrain and the 1 ¼ mile distance of the Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs. But jockey Calvin Borel will need to call on his mount’s versatility if they are to win the Preakness Stakes at Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore, Md., on Saturday, May 15, where speed will be of utmost importance.
Super Saver won the 1 1/16 mile Kentucky Jockey Club Stakes at Churchill Downs from gate to wire in November, and he may need to revert to his pacesetting ways to have success in the Preakness. Can he pull off another victory? Get all your Preakness Stakes betting lines at Bodog.
Standing in Super Saver’s way are a slew of fresh faces. Take Hurricane Ike, who blasted past all rivals in the late going in the Derby Trial (G3) on April 24 (though he will have Robby Albarado, not Borel, in the irons for the Preakness). And Caracortado, who has been turning in blistering workouts at Santa Anita Park in preparation for the big race. And Schoolyard Dreams, who has beaten Super Saver once already this year – in the Tampa Bay Derby (G3) on March 13. Check out the Preakness Stakes odds on each of these contenders.
