Three of the last five Kentucky Derby winners have gone on to win the Preakness Stakes as well. Always Dreaming will look to do the exact same and include another jewel of the Triple Crown with a win . The Kentucky Derby winner is a -125 favorite to win the Preakness at Pimlico in sportsbooks monitored by OddsShark.com.
With the win at Churchill Downs Always Dreaming picked up his fourth straight victory. The horse looked great taking over the lead with about a half of a mile left at the race and yanking away from the pack down the stretch. Always Dreaming is the one to beat in this field.

While Classic Empire was the horse that was expected to create a kick it ended up being Lookin At Lee that looked the best.
