Odds: When oddsmakers from online sports book Bodog.com listed the opening odds for the 2011 Preakness after the Kentucky Derby was run earlier this month, Mucho Macho Man had +600 money line odds. Now, a day before the race, Mucho Macho Man’s odds have dropped to +500.
Race History: Mucho Macho Man already has nine races under his belt and he has never finished lower than fourth in any outing. He placed third at this year’s Kentucky Derby and third at the Grade 2 Louisiana Derby on March 26. He won the Grade 2 Risen Star on February 19 and placed fourth in his first outing of the year at the Grade 3 Holy Bull. Last season, he placed second in back-to-back outings at the Grade 2 Nashua and the Grade 2 Remsen.
Outlook: Simply put, Mucho Macho Man is consistent. He broke from post position No. 13 at Churchill Downs earlier this month, fought through traffic and was able to gain a good stalking spot running eighth. He then swung five wide heading into the stretch and continued to gain ground before losing out to runner-up Nehro and the eventual winner, Animal Kingdom. But with Nehro scratched from the Preakness, Mucho Macho Man might given Animal Kingdom a run for his money this weekend.
