Palace Malice, who finished twelfth in the Kentucky Derby, did not let thirteen-to-one odds stop him from running to victory in the 145th Belmont Stakes.
The 136th running of the Preakness Stakes takes place today, post time 6:20pm. I just checked the weather forecast for Baltimore, Maryland, home of Pimlico Race Course, and it looks like a great day for horse racing. The forecast calls for partly sunny conditions, high about 83, cooling down to 68 degrees by early evening. So, looks like the mudders have no real advantage.
