Weather Forecast for the 2012 Preakness Stakes: Zero Percent Chance of Rain

Unlike the Kentucky Derby where the threat of rain was always in the picture right up until race time, the 2012 Preakness Stakes odds of rain are ZERO.  WagerWeb.com had all your Preakness Stakes betting odds here (FREE CASH for qualifying new customers). 

In fact, if were could bet on the weather conditions at Pimlico, the odds would probably be somewhere in the area of 1 to 1000. 

This news helps with Preakness handicapping as we’re left looking at which horses run best on dirt.

Obviously I’ll Have Another and Bodemeister have proven they can run on the dirt after finishing first and second, respectively, at this year’s Derby.  Following heavy overnight rains, the track had dried by race time.

Creative Cause ran a decent race at the Derby on the dirt but it was his first finish worse than third place.  He ended up finishing 5^th.

Went The Day Well can also run in the dirt, having finished a solid 4^th place at the Kentucky Derby.  The shorter distance at Pimlico gives him an advantage.  Hence, the relatively short odds of 6/1 at WagerWeb.com.
