With the Kentucky Derby winner not racing in the second leg of the Triple Crown and a noticeable lack of competition, the Preakness Stakes this weekend did not translate into a major betting event as has been the case in previous years here at Gambling911.com.   Still, a few of the top 10 queries coming to the site were Preakness Stakes-related, so hardly a total letdown.  Six of the top ten queries were related to Saturday's race.  Eight of the top 25 search queries were related to the PGA Championship.
