The 2012 Preakness is nearly here and it looks like yet another strong field this time around. I'll Have Another took home the first leg of the Triple Crown, which has not been won since 1978 by Affirmed. Bodemeister was a heavy favorite at The Kentucky Derby two weeks ago, but fell short by a few feet to finish in second place. He will be the favorite once again at the Preakness on Saturday.
