The 135th running of the Preakness Stakes is set to go late Saturday afternoon from historical Pimlico Racetrack in Baltimore, MD. The second leg of the Triple Crown will be the 12th race to go out of 13, which can be seen on NBC, May 15th 2010 from 4:30 to 6:30 ET. Below you will find current 2010 preakness stakes odds and horses post positions.

Jockey Calvin Borel will once again be on the back of potential Triple Crown qualifier Super Saver. He led the equine to a Kentucky Derby victory two weeks ago. Borel has now captured wins in three of the L/4 Triple Crown races, so the Preakness Stakes odds of him winning this race don’t offer up the greatest of returns. However, if you are of the belief that Super Saver is legit and can become the 12th equine to win the Triple Crown, a number of sportsbooks are offering a +600 return if he wins the Preakness Stakes on Saturday and follows it up with a victory at the Belmont Stakes. He would become the first horse since Affirmed won all three races to win the Triple Crown back in 1978.

Super Saver is one of 12 horses that will run in the Preakness Stakes. Others include #1 Aikenite (+2000), #2 Schoolyard Dreams (+1400), #3 Pleasant Prince (+2000), #4 Northern Giant (+2800), #5 Yawanna Twist (+2800), #6 Jackson Bend (+1200), #7 Lookin at Lucky (+300), #8 Super Saver (+175), #9 Caracortado (+900), #10 Paddy O’Prado (+450), #11 First Dude (+2000), and #12 Dublin (+1000).

Along with the aforementioned Super Saver, Lookin at Lucky is the only other contender oddsmakers believe have a solid shot of winning the Preakness Stakes. If you’re of the belief that neither of those two horses pull off the feat, BetUS Sportsbook is offering Preakness Stakes odds of -250 on the rest of the field to win Saturday’s race.

Horse bettors looking to just wager on which horses finish in the money have to pay a lofty amount for both Super Saver (-450) and Lookin at Lucky (-300), as well as top three finisher Paddy O’Prado (-200).

One of the most exciting couple minutes in sports is almost here. Don’t be one of the few with no action on the 135th running of the Preakness Stakes!
