What Are the Payout Odds Blazing Sevens to Win the Preakness?

Blazing Sevens became the first pony to decline the Derby invitation.  But he will be running in Saturday's Preakness Stakes race with a promise to pay out $72.50 for every $10 bet.

Blazing Sevens was the winner of the Grade 1 $500,000 Champagne S in the slop.  There is suddenly rain in the forecast for Saturday's race.

“He had a good trip,” said jockey Flavian Prat. “He broke well and he got himself into the race. I was traveling really well on the backside and decided to drop myself in and try to save some ground a bit. He was traveling really well all the way around and when I tipped him out and he changed leads, he really changed gears as well."

Blazing Sevens debuted at Saratoga on July 24, crossing the wire 6 1/4 lengths in front in a six-furlong dirt dash.

Since winning the Champagne, he's finished 4th, 8th and 3rd, respectively, his last race at the Blue Grass Stakes.
