How Journalism Is Quietly Upending the Preakness—and Changing the Derby Bet Forever
Horses youâve never heard of that also have no chance:
#4: Heart of Honor- 12/1
A shipper from overseas who hasnât run in some time, and doesnât really have a chance.
#5: Pay Billy- 20/1
At least this horse won its last two races, albeit against much worse competition.
Horses to play underneath:
#6: River Thames- 9/2
This horse lost by a neck to the Derby winner two races back. He is a consistent in-the-money finisher and can hang on for minor placings.
#3: American Promise- 15/1
I canât believe I am including this horse as an underneath play, but there has to be a reason this horse is coming back off of two weeks’ rest. In the Kentucky Derby he never really was given an opportunity to run. He jogged home in sixteenth place. Maybe he can take third place here.
