The drawing for the 2009 Preakness Stakes post positions can be just as important as the horse race in some cases.
Horse Racing Television (HRTV) and ESPN360.com will both be broadcasting the live draw for post positions in the 2009 Preakness Stakes and it’s an event you’ll want to tune into to make sure the horses you like have drawn good spots for their strengths and weaknesses.
The drawing for post positions will be held on Wednesday, May 13th, at 5 PM Eastern Standard Time and the process for selecting the starting spots for the Preakness is done using a method called a “pill pull”.
Similar to the process in which post positions are chosen for the Kentucky Derby, a blind draw of small, numbered ping pong-like balls will be used to figure out which horses are in what gates at post time of the 2009 Preakness Stakes. The post positions draw programming is scheduled to last roughly 30 minutes.
