7-5 Alysheba Draws No. 6 Post

Favored Alysheba, the Kentucky Derby winner, today drew a comfortable No. 6 post, but Bet Twice, the second choice and Derby runner-up, got pinned on the rail for Saturday’s 112th running of the Preakness Stakes. Stretch-running Alysheba is outside most of the speed horses and should be able to work his way to the front gradually, but Bet Twice, who prefers to run close to the lead, is inside the speed and might be forced to run too fast too early.
