Blazing Sevens was the winner of the Grade 1 $500,000 Champagne S in the slop and we suddenly have rain in the forecast for Saturday's Preakness Stakes race. As of 6 pm ET, it appeared that rain band would hold off until just after the race.
A few showers were forecast to roll in just prior to the 7:01 pm post time. Rain was expected to be more steady during that 7 pm hour however. Light rain was anticipated to linger throughout the evening hours. This is all about timing.
Blazing Sevens odds were still set at +750 for a payout potential of $750 on every $100 bet.
Rot To Win The 2023 Preakness Stakes Moneyline
1 National Treasure +270
2 Chase the Chaos +4000
3 Mage -125
4 Coffeewithchris +3300
5 Red Route One +1200
6 Perform +1600
7 Blazing Sevens +750
Blazing Sevens is certainly capable of winning and these odds were tremendous value.
“He had a good trip,” said jockey Flavian Prat in reference to his Champagne win. “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."
