Today's 139th Preakness Stakes is all about the Kentucky Derby winner California Chrome. The Preakness should have a different pace situation than the Kentucky Derby with many horses that are capable of flashing early speed. General a Rod, California Chrome, Ring Weekend, Bayern, Social Inclusion, and Pablo del Monte all possess the ability to show early speed. The presence of a hot early pace should benefit a closer like Kid Cruz. California Chrome is undoubtedly the horse to beat as he continues on his journey to be the first horse since 1978 to win the Triple Crown. My selections are below.
