Today’s the day! The running of the 137th Preakness Stakes will be the talk of the town and Bovada Racebook has all the 2012 Preakness Stakes betting covered from start to finish, with updated race day odds, including the top contenders and the long shots for victory.

Four of the last five Preakness races have been won by a length or less. The 1-3/16 miles race is shorter than the Kentucky Derby, which justifies Derby runner-up Bodemeister coming in the best odds to win today at 3/2, while right behind him is winner Ill Have Another at 3/1, going for the second jewel in horse racing’s Triple Crown.

Went the Day Well rounds is third on the odds list at 6/1, just ahead of Creative Cause at 13/2. Daddy Nose Best sits at 14/1 and rounds out the top five selections as far as favorable odds go.

These five horses will run from posts five through 9 which, historically, have provided the best chances for victory.

Cozetti is getting the least amount of action, entering the Preakness with a field-worst 40/1 chance. Pretension will run from post 3 and has the second-worst odds at 35/1. However, he’s running from the same post as the great Secretariat, so maybe that will help. Or not.
