2011 Preakness Stakes Contenders

The 2011 Preak­ness Stakes will take place at 1800 hours on may 21st 2011, the day that is alleged to be the day of the rap­ture. The race will be held at the Pim­lico race course in Bal­ti­more, Mary­land. While most peo­ple expect the Ken­tucky derby win­ner to take a shot at the Triple Crown by tak­ing part in this race, derby win­ner ani­mal King­dom han­dlers have not as yet con­firmed if he would be tak­ing part in the race. The Bal­ti­more Colt is how­ever expected to have strong sup­port see­ing that he will be run­ning so close to home. Ani­mal king­dom is expected to be among the favourites tom win this race.
