Two weeks after Rich Strike became the second-biggest long shot to win the Kentucky Derby, Fenwick could join him in the record books at the Preakness Stakes. The 50-1 shot also has as heartwarming a story and is as unlikely to be on the Triple Crown trail.
Rich Strike may not be the only long shot to pull off a major upset this Triple Crown season. The horse with the longest odds at the Preakness is almost equally as unlikely to be there as Rich Strike in the Kentucky Derby. Fenwick also has as heartwarming a story. The 50-1 shot is named after owner Jeremia Rudan's mother who died in a fire when he was 19 and is running for Kevin McKathan two years after the trainer lost his brother because of a heart attack. He does have a strong pedigree as the son of 2007 Preakness winner Curlin.
