Justify the even-money choice in early Preakness wagering

BALTIMORE – Kentucky Derby winner Justify was the even-money favorite as of 6 p.m. Friday in the early Preakness wagering, but there were some strange odds behind him.

Tenfold, fifth in the Arkansas Derby, is a very surprising 2-1 second choice followed by Quip (7-2), Good Magic (9-1), Bravazo (19-1), Sporting Chance (19-1), Lone Sailor (30-1), and Diamond King (70-1).

There was $408,304 wagered in the pool.

Unsurprisingly, Justify is a strong favorite in the Black-Eyed Susan-Preakness double wager that began with #4 Red Ruby ($7.80), the second choice, romping to victory in the Black-Eyed Susan.
