The annual running of the Preakness Stakes will take place on Saturday afternoon from beautiful Pimlico. The sun is shining, the horses are ready and the gamblers are hoping to cash in big with their picks.

Bodemeister is the favorite to win today at 7/4 odds. I'll Have Another is currently listed at 5/2, while Went the Day Well is at 6/1.
