Lookin At Lucky, Martin Garcia Win 2010 Preakness Stakes
This is the fifth Preakness win for Baffert. Lookin At Lucky, who is not yet two years old, was the youngest horse in the field.
Lookin At Lucky, who was at 2-1 odds at post time, won after fighting off a furious challenge from First Dude. Super Saver, who was also 2-1, faded into the pack on the final turn.
Here’s what our horse racing blogger, Matt Gardner of And Down The Stretch They Come, had to say about Lookin At Lucky prior to the race:
Lookin At Lucky: The Derby favorite had the worst draw of all 20 horses two weeks ago and found a bunch of trouble all the way around the track. Trainer Bob Baffert waited until Monday to decide whether or not to enter Lucky this Saturday. That could have been gamesmanship on his part or he could have really been uncertain as to whether his colt needs a breather. If it’s the latter, he could be a very bad bet on Saturday. Jockey Garrett Gomez will be replaced by Martin Garcia.
