Karl Watson, Michael E. Pegram & Paul Weitman’s Lookin At Lucky, under jockey Martin Garcia, rebounded from a disappointing performance in the Kentucky Derby two weeks ago to prevail over 11 rivals by 3/4 of a length in the 135th running of the $1-million Preakness Stakes 2010 Saturday at Pimlico Race Course.
While joining Silver Charm (1997), Real Quiet (1998), Point Given (2001) and War Emblem (2002) in Baffert’s stable of Preakness winners, Lookin at Lucky ran 1 3/16 miles in 1:55.47. The Preakness record is 1:54 2/5, held jointly by Curlin (2007), Louis Quatorze (1996) and Tank’s Prospect (1985).

The Preakness Stakes 2010 Field Update: Aikenite In; Conveyance Out
Posted on Friday, May 7th, 2010
The 2010 Kentucky Derby winner Super Saver will have some company when he travels to Pimlico next week for the Preakness.
Super Saver will be joined by stablemate Aikenite, who will give trainer Todd Pletcher another entry in the second leg of the Triple Crown.
Aikenite finished second in the Derby Trial in his last start April 24. Owner Cot Campbell said the performance was good enough to earn the 3-year-old colt a spot in the 1 3/16-mile Preakness Stakes 2010 next Saturday. Jockey Javier Castellano has the mount.

Kentucky Derby Winner Super Saver To Arrive at Pimlico For The Preakness Stakes 2010
Posted on Sunday, May 2nd, 2010
The eyes of the horse racing world shift from Churchill Downs to Pimlico Race Course as the Triple Crown players set their sights on the 135th running of the Preakness Stakes on Saturday, May 15.
Race horse trainer Todd Pletcher announced that Kentucky Derby winner Super Saver will stay in Kentucky to prepare for the Preakness and will arrive at Pimlico next Wednesday, May 12, the day of the Post Position Draw.
The son of Maria’s Mon, Super Saver, furnished Pletcher with his first Kentucky Derby victory. Much had been made of the conditioners 0-for-24 Kentucky Derby record heading into the race. On top of that, the four-time Eclipse Award winner lost pre-race favorite Eskendereya to injury less than a week before America’s most famous horse race.

The Preakness Stakes 2009 Results & Payouts: Filly Rachel Alexandra Won By 1 Length
Posted on Saturday, May 16th, 2009
Kentucky Oaks winner Rachel Alexandra lived up to her star billing, becoming the first filly in 85 years to win the Preakness Stakes 2009 at 1 3/16 miles.
With jockey Calvin Borel in the irons, Rachel Alexandra became the first filly since Nellie Morse in 1924 to win the Preakness Stakes, second jewel in US horse racing’s Triple Crown, holding off a charge by Kentucky Derby winner Mine That Bird.
Jockey Calvin Borel had piloted 50-1 shot Mine That Bird to the Kentucky Derby triumph, but elected to switch to Rachel Alexandra for the one million-dollar Preakness when new owner Jess Jackson decided to test her against colts.

The Preakness Stakes 2009: I Call ‘em the Way I See ‘em
Posted on Friday, May 15th, 2009
By GREG MELIKOV
The 134th Preakness Stakes 2009 features 13 Preakness horses going 1 3/16 miles on Saturday. I’m classifying them in several categories from those 3-year-olds that stand little chance to those horses that wouldn’t surprise.
My Preakness Picks
Rachel Alexandra: Which came first the odds or the post-position draw? The morning line: 8-5. Won’t be that low at race time. The post: unlucky 13. No horse ever triumphed from there. Will it make a difference? Could be since the pace should be contested. Don’t leave her out of the exotics.
