Lone Sailor, a Kentucky Derby holdover, would pay out $150 for every $10 bet with a Preakness Stakes victory.
Tom Amoss (trainer, Lone Sailor; PP #2, 15-1):
“With an eight-horse field and a long run to the first turn, there’s really no disadvantage to where anyone drew. The one curious thing about the draw is that Justify’s stablemate, Quip, drew all the way down the rail. In that sense, he almost has to go to get some kind of position, which is kind of his style. I’m wondering how that will play out for those two horses.
“For our horse, he doesn’t break well and he’s going to drop behind horses. The fact that theres only one horse inside him, and that horse has speed, that’s good for us.
“No. 7 is an awesome post for Justify. It’s always great to have tactical speed and a position where the jockey can just look over and watch the race unfold and decide how you want to ride. He certainly didn’t lose anything at the draw, that’s for darn sure.”
