Super Saver Won’t Win Preakness Stakes Says Oddsmaker

Super Saver Preakness Stakes

The folks from BetUS.com don't believe for a moment that Kentucky Derby winner Super Saver will repeat that feat at this coming weekend's Preakness Stakes.  They list Super Saver with +250 odds of winning the 2010 Preakness Stakes race with a payout potential of $25 for every $10 bet.

But D.S. Williams, an analyst for the BetUS.com website, seems to contradict what the oddsmakers are believing.

"Super Saver didn't run overly fast in the Kentucky Derby, meaning that he should have enough in the tank for the Preakness Stakes in two weeks.  Not only that, but his running style, lying off of the pace just a few lengths, is conducive to a Preakness victory."

Super Saver came into this year's Kentucky Derby getting more action at one point than any other horse, including the favorite Lookin' At Lucky.

Jockey Calvin Borel has predicted that Super Saver will not only win this weekend's Preakness Stakes but that he will go on to win the Triple Crown.

Borel had ridden three horses to victory in four of the last Kentucky Derby races.
