The second leg of the Triple Crown may be a messy one.
Saturday’s weather forecast for the 149th running of the Preakness Stakes is anticipating scattered storms and cool temps as the horse racing world turns its attention to Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore.
That may not be the worst outcome for Kentucky Derby winner Mystik Dan, who is looking to become the 36th thoroughbred to win both the Run for the Roses and the Preakness. Mystik Dan has run well on muddy tracks before, even winning the Southwest Stakes in the slop.
Here’s what AccuWeather is saying about the race conditions:
Cloudy and cooler with a couple of showers and a thunderstorm; rain gear may come in handy for the day at the races. Probability of Precipitation 97%, Probability of Thunderstorms 39%, Cloud Cover 99%.
Keep that in mind as you glance at the odds below.
