It’s Bob Baffert’s world, and we all get to live in it. Baffert is the Bill Belichick of horse racing trainers. In fact, he TV interviewed with the Hoodie just days before winning his seventh Kentucky Derby. Medina Spirit was the surprise winner. As a result, gamblers are on the Baffert bandwagon. To show, Medina Spirit opened 2021 Preakness Stakes Odds. Concert Tour is the other main horse betting favorite for the Preakness. Adding intrigue to the Baffert storyline is that he trains Concert Tour too. Essential Quality is skipping the Preakness but is expected to start the Belmont Stakes.

2021 Preakness Stakes CashBet Odds Overview
On this occasion, it’s important to keep in mind that there will be well-rested quality alternatives at the Preakness. Horses that skipped the Kentucky Derby can often ambush the best sportsbook online prices. Cause by the masses not being familiar with them. These can be good horses that have the advantage of not being fatigued. The entire Kentucky Derby experience is a drain for all concerned. Hall of Fame trainer D. Wayne Lucas commented that the Preakness Stakes is much more fun. To be exact, Lucas likes that the Derby hype and pressure don’t travel to Pimlico.
Of course, the one team that will face scrutiny is the Kentucky Derby winner. Bob Baffert and Media Spirit will get all of the media attention. That is always the case with the Kentucky Derby winner. Subsequently, the Derby winner is always hyped as the next Triple Crown champion. And Baffert has 2015 and 2018 Triple Crown championships. He is the only trainer to achieve a Triple Crown since 1978. But Baffert begins Preakness weak under fire.
Churchill Downs Suspends Baffert and May Overturn Derby Race Results
Sunday brought the bombshell news that Bob Baffert was suspended by Churchill Downs Racetrack, home of the Kentucky Derby. To begin with, the track announced the Medina Spirit’s post-race blood sample was a violation of state equine medication protocols. This decision could have major ramifications for 2021 Preakness Stakes betting. It is conceivable that Medina Spirit could be stripped of his win. As a result, Mandaloun would be declared the winner. Extending the controversy is that Mandaloun is skipping the Preakness. No way would have happened if he was the Kentucky Derby winner.
This trouble isn’t the first time that Baffert has faced accusations of doping horses. Each time he found a way out of the jam. At California, his Triple Crown-winning horse Justify failed a test. But Baffert escaped with a “tainted feeding” ruling. On another occasion, he beat sanctions because of an assistant trainer accidentally touching a substance that spoiled a test. Baffert has been called the kid whose dog at his homework.
Midnight Bourbon
One of the biggest disappointments on Derby Day was Midnight Bourbon. Namely, this Todd Pletcher trained horse finished 6th at Churchill Downs. Yet he will be a potential 2021 Preakness Stakes wagering bargain. And without the pressure that comes with the Kentucky Derby. Pletcher has two Kentucky Derby, and three Belmont Stakes wins. However, he hasn’t ever beat the Preakness.
Will Gamblers Go on Concern Tour?
Above all, Concert Tour has 2021 Preakness Stakes Odds credibility as being Baffert-trained. He won his first three starts but was held out of the Kentucky Derby. Now he enters Pimlico rested and a proven winner.
2021 Preakness Stakes CashBet Odds Free Picks
In view of the Baffert suspension news, dynamics could change dramatically with the 2021 Preakness Stakes Odds. More emphatically, we may lose the presumptive Triple Crown aspiring horse and trainer. And Mandaloun may be a belated winner named too late to run for the Triple Crown.
