preakness stakes

After the watching the Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes, Mechanicville trainer Chad Brown sets himself up for the Travers Stakes at Saratoga in August.

The Preakness Stakes is not until May 21st, but there is no way Kentucky Derby winner Rich Strike is going to win. I am still shocked he won the Derby.

Whatever your stance on what happened two weeks ago, we can all agree that this could be the best Preakness in some time to find VALUE!

From the backyard of his home in Mechanicville to the winners circle at Pimlico, Chad Brown has remained humble. "Its a dream come true" said Brown after winning, "But more than me, its my staff. So many dedicated employees who work so hard particularly on this horse (Cloud Computing), I've had 3 trainers help develop him and without a strong team around me i wouldn't be here".

Early Saturday evening, casual horse racing fans learned what everybody near Saratoga Springs already knew: Chad Brown is one of the top trainers in the sport, no matter the surface. The 38-year old from Mechanicville has long been labeled a "turf horse trainer", but by winning the 142nd Preakness Stakes, Brown has proven he belongs in the company of Todd Pletcher, Bob Baffert and the li

Ahead of the Preakness, it’s a similar story – just multiplied.  It’s California Chrome, a Grand Canyon sized hole, then the rest.

Another exciting sports weekend is ahead with expected drama and highlights.  Orb goes for stage two of the Triple Crown.  NBA and NHL playoff games.  The Yankees welcome the Blue Jays to the Bronx.    Plus a little NASCAR.  What sporting event are you most looking forward to watching this weekend...

In a gutsy performance, the Derby winner has done it again.  He ran down another impossibly brilliant run of Bodemeister to win the Preakness and take us to Belmont with Triple Crown hopes very much alive. @JoeBianchino

In a bit of a surprise, it was I'll Have Another running down the favorites - and the incredible run of Bodemeister - to win the Kentucky Derby.  Two weeks later he'll look to make a similar run to claim the Preakness, and take us to Belmont with Triple Crown hopes alive.

We're just 3 days away from the 142nd running of the Travers Stakes - the Travers is scheduled for Saturday, August 27th. Today, the field and odds were set.
