Ring Weekend Preakness odds were set at 43/1, making him the biggest long shot of the race.  His odds were previously at 30/1. 

He was the winner of the Grade 2 Tampa Derby and had earned enough points to run in the Kentucky Derby but came down with a fever.

The primary concerns as they apply to Ring Weekend have to do with speed.  Even his Tampa Bay Derby was not viewed as entirely impressive considering the lack of competition.

Ring Weekend is looking to become the eighth gelding to win the Preakness, and the first since Funny Cide in 2003.

  1. Dynamic Impact 10/1 (was 18/1)
  2. General A Rod 30/1 (was 18/1)
  3. California Chrome -155 (was +135)
  4. Ring Weekend 43/1 (was 30/1)
  5. Bayern 16/1 (was 10/1)
  6. Ria Antonia 34/1 (was 40/1)
  7. Kid Cruz 21/1 (was 20/1)
  8. Social Inclusion 9/1 (was 3.5/1)
  9. Pablo Del Monte 33/1 (was 18/1)
  10. Ride On Curlin 8/1 (no change)

How We Follow Horse Racing Has Completely Changed

Horse racing has always been a sport built on routine. Certain days meant certain tracks, the form guide landed when it landed, and if you missed a race, you simply caught up later. Following the sport required a bit of commitment, a bit of patience, and often a bit of guesswork.
