The second leg of the Triple Crown is upon us, with the Preakness Stakes set to take place at Pimlico Race Course at Baltimore.
The event lost a bit of its luster when it was announced that Kentucky Derby winner Rich Strike would not compete. The 80-1 Derby underdog shocked the world in winning the Run for the Roses in the second-biggest upset in the race's history.
However, the Preakness Stakes is still one of the sport's true marvels: a winding 1 3/16-mile race that tests the speed and endurance of every horse. Just 37 horses have won the Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes, a testament to its difficult nature.

It's also fairly inexpensive, all things considered. You just have to make sure you're looking in the right places.
