Oddsmakers from online sports book SBGGLOBAL.com currently list Animal Kingdom as a +200 money line favorite. Dialed In, who was favored to win the Kentucky Derby earlier this month, is +500 on the money line, while Mucho Macho Man is +600. (Mucho Macho Man finished third at the Kentucky Derby.)
When the opening odds were released a day after the Kentucky Derby, both Animal Kingdom and Dialed In were favored at +400. But after he won at Churchill Downs, it was clear that Animal Kingdom would be the lone favorite for the 2011 Preakness.
