Preakness Stakes Props Picks
After reading our picks for the Preakness Stakes, there will be little surprise to hear that we like the chances of a low-drawn winner in the Middle Jewel of the Triple Crown on Saturday. As well as covering our main selection, this will also include runners such as Taj Mahal and Ocelli, who are prominent in the betting.
A lasting memory from the Kentucky Derby was the Ortiz brothers finishing first and second. It isn’t completely impossible that history could repeat itself. Jose Ortiz is booked to ride Chip Honcho, who shares important form lines with talented colts such as Golden Tempo, Paladin. Irad Ortiz will be aboard Talkin, who will need to bounce back to the high-quality form shown during his juvenile campaign to feature at Laurel Park.
Our main selection for the race also has under nine letters in their name. Therefore, that could be among the standout Preakness Stakes props picks. This is a standout market to remove a couple of the standout horses in the field that we don’t like, including Napoleon Solo, Corona De Oro, and The Hell We Did.
