The Preakness Field Is Set

The post position draw for the Preakness Stakes was yesterday afternoon, and your field of 9 horses is set.

1	Mint Slewlep	30-1
2	Xchanger	15-1
3	Circular Quay	8-1
4	Curlin	7-2
5	King of the Roxy	12-1
6	Flying First Class	20-1
7	Hard Spun	5-2
8	Street Sense	7-5
9	CP West	20-1

The Preakness is on Saturday on NBC. Post time is scheduled for 3.04 p.m. PST.

A field of nine will make for a much more normal race than the insanity and uncertainty of the 20 horse field in the Derby. More later.
