Bob Costas is a very well known sportscaster who will be covering the Preakness on NBC.

Bob joined Ed and Steve to talk about the Preakness at Pimlico on Saturday.

NBC's Bob Costas on the Preakness

Bob started by talking about how he will not handicap the race because NBC has about a dozen guys who do that and that obviously California Chrome is the early favorite.

Bob said that winning the triple crown is a very grueling grind that is incredibly tough on the horses. Bob said 12 horses have won the Derby and Preakness since the last triple crown so clearly the deck is stacked against California Chrome.

Bob said the experts say the track at Pimlico is friendlier to California Chrome's style than that of the Derby or Belmont.
