Bob Baffert’s 8 year wait for a victory in a Triple Crown event is over: Lookin at Lucky, jockeyed by rookie Martin Garcia, took the Black Eye Susans today, winning in authoritative style. Garcia, who is just 25 years old, earned his first Preakness win, after replacing veteran jockey Garret Gomez who wasn’t able to convert in the Kentucky Derby earlier this month. Trainer Baffert knew he had the race won at the final corner, noting that Garcia masterfully executed a perfect run. Baffert adds this win to his hall of fame career tally which includes several Triple Crown wins throughout the early 90’s to early 2000’s. The mid to late 2000’s were a drought for Baffert, but that unlucky streak is now history.

Favorite Super Saver and Calvin Borel got off to a great start, and were even in prime position down the back stretch. Unfortunately, Super Saver ran out of gas on the crucial home stretch sprint, settling for 8th place. Longshot Yawanna Twist was a pleasant surprise today, placing near the top of the pack. Meanwhile, Kentucky Derby contender Paddy O’ Prado was not a factor, disappointing many fans who thought he might be good for the win.

Calvin Borel grew up in Lousiana, mounting his first horse at age 8. As time wore on, he took to the sport naturally, moving up through the Jockey ranks to eventual stardom. Borel has multiple Kentucky Derby wins under his belt, has laid claim to victories in many top stakes races, and now he’s tackling Pimilco hoping to win his second consecutive Preakness Stakes. He put on a show last year with Filly Rachel Alexandra, who went on to be Horse of the Year for 2009. Now, he’s mounting Super Saver hoping to win the middle jewel of the Triple Crown.

Super Saver and Borel, however, aren’t the only show in town. A few other notable horses will be running as well. Paddy O’ Prado, Dublin, Jackson Bend, Lookin at Lucky and First Dude, all of whom participated in this year’s Kentucky Derby, will be joining Super Saver at the starting gate. Likewise, they will be running with their respective Jockeys from the Derby. This year, there are no changes in mounts. *Editorial Correction: Lookin At Lucky’s original jockey, Garret Gomez, was replaced by Martin Garcia for the Preakness.

The morning line on the race favors Super Saver at 5-2, then Paddy O’ Prado at 9-2, followed by Lookin at Lucky with 3-1 odds. The rest of the 12 horse field field falls in somewhere between 15-1 and 30-1, except for Caracortado and Dublin at 10-1, followed by Jackson Bend at 12-1. Any one of these three horses are considered possible upset threats to the top three; and many top horse racing authorities aren’t counting them out yet. But do any of the horses facing 15-1 odds or greater stand a chance?

Well, possibly - Let’s return to Calvin Borel. We all remember Borel’s remarkable ride aboard Mine that Bird at last year’s Kentucky Derby, who was facing 50-1 odds when the gates opened. When Borel and Bird crossed the finish line, the $100+ dollar Win bet was one of the top payouts in the history of the Derby. Mine that Bird went on to be a contender in the subsequent Preakness Stakes and Belmont Stakes, finishing towards the front of each race, though not claiming the elusive Triple Crown. Now, the real question is this: do you want to bet against the formidable Borel/Super Saver combo?
