Here is the post position order for the 2009 Preakness Stakes:

Post Position No. 1: Big Drama – Big Drama ran from the No. 6 sport during the Swale Stakes, where he earned a second place finish. Big Drama earned a first place win at Boyd Gaming's Delta Jackpot Stakes from post position no. 5.

Post Position No. 2: Mine That Bird – This longshot Kentucky Derby winner ran from the starting spot in the Derby run.

Post Position No. 3: Musket Man – Musket Man has a habit of drawing inside spots, but has done pretty well with his bad hand, earning a respectable 3rd place at the Kentucky Derby.

Post Position No. 4: Luv Guv – This horse has proven he is comfortable with inside positions.

Post Position No. 5: Friesan Fire – He came in first despite drawing the outside spot on the post positions in the Louisiana Derby.

Post Position No. 6: Terrain – Terrain also drew the no. 4 position at the Louisiana Derby and finished third. Perhaps he'll eat a few extra Cheerios on Preakness day and move up a couple spots?

Post Position No. 7: Papa Clem – The Arkansas Derby winner started from an inside post position and also drew the number seven position in the Derby, where he finished fourth.

Post Position No. 8: General Quarters – This horse did well with a No. 8 post position at the Blue Grass Stakes, taking the win. He also won the Sam F. Davis from post position 2, but failed to place at the Kentucky Derby from a middle position.

Post Position No. 9: Pioneerof the Nile – One of the Kentucky Derby favorites, Pioneerof the Nile came in  2nd place at the Kentucky Derby.

Post Position No. 10:  Flying Private – This horse drew the no. 20 post position at the Kentucky Derby, which wasn't a good pick for him as he came in last. Perhaps he'll fair better from the no. 10 position.

Post Position No. 11: Take The Points – Earned a respectable 4th place at the Santa Anita Derby despite drawing an outside positions.

Post Position No. 12: Tone It Down – An inside post position is probably better for this horse, so we'll see how he handles post no. 12 in the Preakness.

Post Position No. 13: Rachel Alexandra – The Kentucky Oaks' winner is the favorite to win. Now this filly eyes the Preakness.
