Bad news for you and Hockey, that is where I'm leaning too

Isn't the Preakness more or less a favorite's race though? When was the last time a true longshot won the thing? Would Louis Quatorze qualify somehow?

Bernardini paid $27.

Certainly an anomaly though. No? Wasn't he the second choice at that number too?

No, not the second choice, but overall I have no argument with the post I answered. It is generally a relatively formful race.

Quite correct, somehow he was let go at that price.

I don't recall Louis Quatorze being that big a price (still double digits, however), even though he was far back in the Derby. Aside from the already noted Bernardini, the only other double digit winners that I recall in recent years were Charismatic and Red Bullet.
