The 136th running of the Preakness Stakes is set for Saturday afternoon at Pimilco Race Track in Maryland.

Kentucky Derby winner Animal Kingdom drew the 11th post and is listed as the early morning line favorite at 2-1. The colt had the perfect ride in the Kentucky Derby and has plenty left in the tank to do good again here. While he is certainly a candidate to win the race, at his current price you may want to look for more value in the race.

Here are some horses that could knock off the Derby winner:

Dialed In - After a sluggish start ine Derby, the horse closed hard and over the last four furlongs of the race ran at fractions that matched the legendary Secretariat. He got lost in the shuffle early on Derby Day and with the slowest pace since 1947 had a tough time running down horses. With a faster pace and fewer horses expected here Dialed In is my pick to win the Preakness.

Mucho Macho Man - A strong Derby effort forces me to put him atop the mix of horses in my exotic bets. It will be tougher for him to get in the money than it was on Derby day, but the horse is certainly capable and must be paid attention to.

Flashpoint - One of the newcomers to the mix, Flashpoint is one of the speed horses that should get out to the top early in the race. If everything breaks right he could hang out long enough to get in the money.

Sway Away - His sire Afleet Alex won the race and the horse appears to be bred to go the distance. A true wildcard.

Midnight Interlude - If you take away his rough Derby day there is plenty to like, but most of his damage has come on turf and synthetic tracks. If he can move in the dirt he's worth adding to the mix.
