Justify Odds to Win the Preakness 2018
Justify had 1-3 odds of winning this year's Preakness Stakes thanks to his impressive Kentucky Derby victory.
Not since Apollo in 1882 had a colt won the roses without racing as a 2-year-old.
Now, trainer Bob Baffert is in position to make another run at the Triple Crown. Three years ago, he trained American Pharoah to the sport’s first sweep of the Derby, Preakness and Belmont in 37 years and just the 12th ever.
Mike Smith earned his second Kentucky Derby win riding Justify.
“Amazing horse,” Smith said. “He’s got that ‘it’ factor. He is so above average, he’s got unbelievable talent and he’s got a mind to go with it. He was loving this stuff.”
