Preakness Stakes 2025: Results and payouts as Journalism wins second leg of the Triple Crown
Preakness Stakes 2025: Results and payouts as Journalism wins second leg of the Triple Crown The 150th running of the Preakness Stakes belongs to Journalism! The Michael McCarthy-trained thoroughbred pulled off an incredible comeback to chase down long-shot Gosger down the home stretch, stunning on-lookers as he blazed past Clever Again and Sandman. Pimlico Race Course avoided a second year in a row with a muddy track despite constant rain this week as the dirt held up and the horses went fast Saturday. Kentucky Derby-winner Sovereignty was not in the field as his trainers opted for extra recovery time, so there will be no Triple Crown winner this year. There will also be no shortage of intrigue for the rest of the season as Journalism — who went off as the favorite at both the Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes — awaits a rematch with Sovereignty later this summer. 2025 Preakness Stakes: The best (and most outrageous) hats at Pimlico The third and final jewel of the Triple Crown will be awarded when the 2025 Belmont Stakes goes off on Saturday, June 7 at Saratoga Race Course. Belmont Park, the traditional home of the race, is still undergoing renovations, so the 157th running of the Belmont will take place upstate. The Preakness will also need a new home in 2026 as Pimlico undergoes renovations that are expected to be completed by the 2027 season. 2025 Preakness Stakes Payouts ($TBD, $TBD, $TBD) (N/A, $TBD, $TBD) (N/A, N/A, $TBD) (Based on $2 bet) $2.00 Exacta: $TBD $1.00 Trifecta: $TBD $1.00 Superfecta: $TBD Purse Payouts And Results $1,200,000 $400,000 $220,000

Will Kentucky Derby-winner Sovereignty run the 2025 Preakness Stakes? Everything we know
Will Kentucky Derby-winner Sovereignty run the 2025 Preakness Stakes? Everything we know Sovereignty ran away with the 151st Kentucky Derby on Saturday at a muddy Churchill Downs and it only took a few minutes of celebrating before the obvious question was asked of the thoroughbred's trainers: Will the horse run the Preakness Stakes next? It almost seems unfair to interrupt a celebration with a work question like this, but as soon Sovereignty crossed the finish line everyone wanted to know if the horse would attempt to win the Triple Crown. The Preakness, set for May 17, is the second jewel up for grabs. Sovereignty's team was noncommittal when asked about the Preakness on the NBC broadcast, citing the quick turnaround, but didn't quite rule it out. The ownership group at Godolphin and trainer Bill Mott want to see how the horse responds to Saturday's race before making a decision. That's totally understandable, even if it's a bit disappointing to think a Kentucky Derby winner may miss out on the Preakness again. Still, the annual race outside Baltimore should be another electric affair no matter what — especially with Bob Baffert's Rodriguez expected to enter fresh after scratching at the Derby. Stay tuned for more info in the coming days as we learn more about Sovereignty's recovery.
