I går onsdag den 18. maj blev der trukket lod om startsporene til Preakness Stakes.
Preakness favoritten, og Kentucky Derby vinderen, Animal Kingdom trak spor 11. Næstfavoritten Dialed In, der kom ind på en 8’de plads i Kentucky Derby trak spor 10, dvs. lige indenfor Kentucky Derby vinderen. Tredje i Kentucky Derby Mucho Macho Man trak startspor 9.
Herefter var de tre største favoritter havnet ved siden af hinanden.
Animal Kingdom’s træner Graham Motion udtalte, at han var nervøs da både spor 1 og 14 var tilbage, da det var deres tur. Han var derfor glad for startspor 11, idet han foretrak at ligge udvendigt i stedet for at blive fanget indvendigt.
