Preakness Stakes 2011: Is Animal Kingdom Making a Run for the Triple Crown?

Preakness Stakes 2011 Sees A Fair Shot for Animal Kingdom At the Triple Crown

The 2011 Kentucky Derby left us with a long shot winner, but a true chance at the Triple Crown.

Animal Kingdom, a horse that ran on dirt for the first time when we he traveled to Churchill, has the talent to actually attack Preakness Stakes and a make a true bid for the trio of wins.

Animal Kingdom has won on every surface, has a jockey with the experience and talent to win and races in a field he can take control of if he runs his race.

That is the most important thing going forward, how Animal Kingdom runs his race.

The field is not too tough and there are only a few horses making the move to the Preakness from the Derby.

Kingdom's got that working in his favor, but could also fall off completely as this will only be his second career race on dirt and there is no telling if he will be consistent.

As with the Derby, eyes will be on Dialed On as the biggest potential threat to Animal Kingdom's Triple Crown run.

We say it every year, but this year we truly have a threat to pull off the elusive Triple Crown.
