                    Orb is Favorite Colt at Preakness Stakes

   Kentucky Derby champion Orb is the favorite going into the 138th
   running of the Preakness Stakes, the second horse race of the Triple
   Crown.
   The colt will face eight rivals at Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore,
   Maryland, Saturday. If the horse wins, he gets a shot on June 9 to try
   for the first Triple Crown win since 1978 at the Belmont Stakes.
   Orb will break from the one post during the race. Trainer Shug
   McGaughey said Friday he was pleased with the horse and does not see
   any problems ahead of the race.
   Eleven horses have won the Triple Crown in the United States since
   1919.
