Preakness 2012: Daddy Nose Best, Bodemeister Look For Redemption

After a thrilling conclusion to the 2012 Kentucky Derby a few weeks ago, another strong field is preparing for The Preakness. 'I'll Have Another' won the first leg of the triple crown and will be looking to win once again this weekend.

Bodemeister finished second in the Kentucky Derby and is being considered the favorite for The Preakness. Daddy Nose Best is another horse running in both events, and many feel he could be a dark horse (pun intended) for the race after a decent showing at the first leg of the triple crown.
