Orb is set at 7-5 and rightly so. The newcomers are Departing, Governor Charlie, Titletown Five and Street Spice. An interesting side story here is that Departing and Orb were growing up in their early months on the same farm and can be referred to us "childhood buddies" (see Haskin's story here).

Coming back to the race itself, we have not looked at the different scenarios or past performances, but Titletown Five (from the Lukas barn) and Will Take Charge (who had to steady in the stretch) could definitely prove to be dangerous.

Who do you think will win the Preakness? Will Orb go on to win and be line for a Triple Crown..or will be get upset early and shift the elusive triple crown discussion to the next year?
