2012 Preakness Field: Bodemeister Looks To Avenge Kentucky Derby Loss

Bodemeister, owned by Zayat Stables of Hackensack, N.J., will look to deny I'll Have another a chance to race for horse racing's Triple Crown on Saturday in the 2012 Preakness Stakes at Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore, Md.

Bodemeister was the 4-1 morning line favorite in the Kentucky Derby, the first leg of horse racing's Triple Crown, and led from the gate until being chased down by I'll Have Another in the final sixteenth of a mile.

Bodemeister is trained by Hall of Famer Bob Baffert and will once again be ridden by jockey Mike Smith. Bodemeister did not race as a two-year-old, but has two victories and three second-place finishes in five starts this year as a three-year-old.
