Pioneer of the Nile<\/strong>\u00a0is next after coming in second to Mine That Bird at the Derby, and he has Preakness odds of 5\/1. Mine That Bird<\/strong>\u00a0is far from the 50\/1 longshot who scored the second-largest upset in Kentucky Derby history, as Borel navigated the horse through early traffic, and in a move reminiscent of his 2007 Derby win with Street Sense, he took Mine That Bird to the rail and it was on from there as he galloped to a victory of almost seven lengths. Mine That Bird has\u00a0Preakness odds\u00a0of 6\/1 this Saturday at Pimlico, and it’ll be interesting to see how the horse handles with a different jockey.<\/p>\n Another horse that people will have their eye on is\u00a0Friesen Fire<\/strong>, who shares 6\/1 Preakness odds with Mine That Bird. Friesen Fire was named the Kentucky Derby favorite after I Want Revenge was scratched on the morning of the race with an ankle problem, but he never had a chance, starting slow out of the gate before struggling to an 18th-place finish out of 19 horses.<\/p>\n All eyes will be on Rachel Alexandra in this race, as she attempts to become the first filly since Nellie Morse in 1924 to win the Preakness, and only the fifth overall. She has the right man leading her through the track, and one of the reasons for the low odds on her is that Borel has ridden her all year. Mine That Bird would probably be a safe online betting pick, but it’s very difficult to look past Rachel Alexander’s\u00a0Preakness odds.<\/p>\n Post positions have been set for the 134th running of the Preakness Stakes at Pimlico, in this article our cappers give you up to date Betting Odds, and 2009 Preakness Handicapping Tips…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":68,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[13712,9715,166,13879,558,13715,1919,13187,13876,13771,13875,13877,13878],"class_list":["post-10742","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-horse-racing","tag-2009-preakness","tag-bet-online","tag-betting-odds","tag-friesen-fire","tag-handicapping-tips","tag-mine-that-bird","tag-online-horse-betting","tag-pioneer-of-the-nile","tag-preakness-betting","tag-preakness-odds","tag-preakness-post-positions","tag-preakness-starting-positions","tag-rachel-alexandra"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10742","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/68"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10742"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10742\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":108538,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10742\/revisions\/108538"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10742"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10742"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10742"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}} A second-place run isn’t too bad when you consider that was Pioneer of the Nile’s first start on dirt, and he looked really strong, but no one in the field was any match for Mine that Bird.<\/p>\n
