Preakness Stakes 2010 Post Positions to be Announced
The Preakness Stakes 2010 post positions will be announced at 5 pm EST today (Wednesday).
It appears as if 13 horses will be entered in this Saturday's race. Compare that with the 20 horses entered in the Kentucky Derby nearly two weeks ago and today's post position announcements won't be nearly as critical.
"In the Kentucky Derby, there were five or six speed horses (ones that wanted to get out front early)," said Ike Thrash, who co-owns Hurricane Ike (+1000 odds). "There may be no speed horses in the Preakness. Because of the pace, with no speed horses, we would prefer not to be No. 14 or 1. We would like 5, 6, 7 or 8 if possible. But if we got second or third, we'd be perfectly happy."
