Odds: When oddsmakers from online sports book Bodog.com released the opening odds for the 2011 Preakness a couple of weeks ago, Astrology was listed at +1000. Now the 3-year-old colt is +1500 on the money line, which puts him in the same company as Dance City (+1300), Shackleford (+1300), Sway Away (+1600) and Midnight Interlude (+1800).
Race History: In his seven career starts, Astrology has never not finished outside the money. He broke his maiden by finishing third last July before winning his first race on September 4. He also placed third at Garden State on September 25 before notching his second victory at the Grade 3 Iroquois on October 31. Coming into the Preakness, he’s finished second in each of his last three races, which including the Grade 2 Kentucky Jockey Club, the Grade 3 Sunland Derby and the Grade 2 Jerome Hcp.
Outlook: Considering he has never finished off the board in seven career starts, one would think Astrology is a nice buy at +1500 on the money line. He didn’t race in the Kentucky Derby so he’s a bit of a wildcard heading into Saturday’s race but that also means he’s fresh. Astrology is a bay son of 1992 Horse of the Year A.P. Indy and while he’s winless in his last two starts, he looks to be a sleeper in the 2011 Preakness.
