Preakness Field: 9. Abiding Star

Trainer: Edward Allard

Jockey: J.D. Acosta

Owners: Stonehedge

Morning Line: 30-1

How he got here: He's the most raced horse in the race (11 starts) but he hasn't been at the premium tracks. He's won all five races this year in Philadelphia and at Laurel. It took seven races for him to break his maiden and he hasn't lost since.

Why he'll win: Maybe something happened five races ago where he finally figured everything out. He's got a lot of early speed, so if the race collapses behind him and no one closes, then there is a sliver of a chance  he can win.

Why he won't: This company is just too tough for a horse that raced a lot in Philadelphia. His early speed probably can't match that of Uncle Lino. He's likely to drift ack and never be seen again.
