Preakness Stakes Contenders

The Preakness Stakes 135 is restricted to only 14 Preakness Stakes runners and will run on May 15 at Pimlico Race Track and is the second leg of the Triple Crown. The starters will be determined with the first seven horses given preference by the highest lifetime earnings in graded stakes. The next four starters will be determined by the highest lifetime earnings in all “non-restricted stakes,” which means those stakes whose conditions contain no restrictions other than age or sex. The remaining three starters will be determined by the highest lifetime earnings in all races. There have been 21 that won two but failed to win the third race. The last horse to be awarded the Triple Crown was Affirmed in 1978. More 2010 Preakness Stakes Horse Betting Info

Paddy O'Prado turned in one of the fastest pre-Derby workouts when he sped 5 furlongs in 58.4 seconds on a muddy track on April 23 and on the Day of the 136th Kentucky Derby the colt turned in a 3rd place showing.

Paddy O’Prado wasn’t the only runner with a rough trip. A day of heavy rain left the track sloppy and the off-track combined with the bulky 20-horse field resulted in noting but trouble for 17 horses. The 3 year old Colt, was making a run at Super Saver when he and Jackson Bend bumped turning for home. He then took an awkward step in midstretch and swerved, losing more momentum.

Paddy O Prado was born in 2007. At the age of 2 got 3rd place on Gulfstream Park's turf course in his fourth lifetime race. Since that disappointing loss, the son of El Prado has been on the fast track to the Kentucky Derby. The Kentucky-bred colt finally broke into the win column on March 6, dominating a field of winners by more than two lengths in the Palm Beach Stakes on turf at Gulfstream.

Paddy O’Prado, owned by the 11-member Donegal Racing partnership that includes 10 Iowans, Paddy O’Prado is believed to be just the second Kentucky Derby starter owned by Iowans, joining Blumin Affair, who ran third in 1994.

The next leg of the Triple Crown is the May 15 Preakness Stakes in Baltimore, but Paddy O’Prado may sit out that race and await the 11/2-mile Belmont Stakes on June 5.
