2025 Black-Eyed Susan odds, preview, picks, and best bets
Gambling content 21+. The New York Post may receive an affiliate commission if you sign up through our links. Read our editorial standards for more information. The field for the 150th running of the Preakness Stakes on Saturday is top-heavy. Journalism is going to go off as a decisive favorite in the second leg of the Triple Crown, which takes some of the fun out of the handicapping. The good news is that the Black-Eyed Susan, the Preakness' answer to the Kentucky Oaks, projects to be wide open thanks to a couple of vulnerable favorites at the top of the board. Overall, this isn't the most spellbinding field, but that doesn't mean it won't be a lot of fun to bet on. 2025 Black-Eyed Susan Stakes odds Post Horse Odds 1 Liam in the Dust 6-1 2 Princess Aliyah 15-1 3 Margie's Intention 3-1 4 Runnin N Gunnin 5-2 5 Kinzie Queen 10-1 6 Paris Lilly 8-1 7 Reply 8-1 8 Amarth 4-1 9 Moon Cache 20-1 No. 4 Runnin N Gunnin was installed as a 5-2 favorite on the morning line, but there are plenty of holes you can poke in this horse at this price. Her last time out, Runnin N Gunnin was soundly beaten by two Kentucky Derby horses, Quietside and Simply Joking, in the Fantasy Stakes at Oaklawn. Finishing third in that race isn't a knock in a vacuum, but it becomes concerning when you see how far back she finished. Runnin N Gunnin won her only other two starts in 2025, but those came at smaller tracks. If the favorite is vulnerable, that means that the contenders behind her will be as well. No. 3 Margie's Intention is the second choice at 3-1, but like Runnin N Gunnin has a lot of things going against her at this kind of price. Most notably, Margie's Intention has only raced in Louisiana, against Louisiana-bred horses in her five career starts. With the two favorites looking very gettable, we'll take a shot on a couple of long shots and try to add some serious upside to our ticket on Friday. 2025 Black-Eyed Susan best bets Top Pick: No. 6 Paris Lilly (8-1) The most important thing to remember about handicapping this race is that there doesn't seem to be a standout horse. It's easy to make arguments against the two favorites, which means you could start your ticket in this range with a contender like Paris Lilly. Pimlico Race Track in Baltimore is the site of the Black-Eyed Susan. Gregory Fisher-Imagn Images This will represent a significant step up in competition for Paris Lilly, but the field isn't unconquerable, and she is improving at the right time. Another step forward, and she will be a contender on Friday. Price to monitor: No. 7 Reply (8-1) This is a tricky one, because there's a chance you'll see this price plummet on Friday. Owned by Mike Repole and trained by Brittany Russell, there is little doubt that Reply will end up being one of the trendiest bets on Friday, and could go off as one of the top choices. Should the price hold close to this number, I'll be throwing Reply in with Paris Lilly and my favorite long shot. Get the lowdown on the Best USA Sports Betting Sites and Apps Long shot to use: No. 9 Moon Cache (20-1) The biggest long shot on the board, Moon Cache has every chance of adding some juice to your exotics in this field. She finished third behind Complexity Jane and Reply in the Weber City Miss Stakes, so another bit of improvement could see her close the gap on Reply, who will be a very popular pick to win on Friday. In this field, it makes a lot of sense to have some exposure to this horse at this price.

Livvy Dunne stuns in leopard print bikini on vacation with her sister
After her college career has come to an end, social media influencer and swimsuit model Livvy Dunne is taking some time for herself with a little vacation. The Sports Illustrated model was seen on the beach and showing off her athletic figure in a leopard print bikini on the sands of Hutchinson Island South in Florida. She appeared to be enjoying herself as she lapped up the rays in south Florida as she was joined by her sister, Julz. Livvy shared a snap with her older sibling, who sported a black two-piece of her own, as they walked through the waves. It appears that Dunne is at the beach in order to find a second place to live, according to a post she made on TikTok. 'First-semester grad school done, house hunting at the beach, bought a NYC apt, and walking to get a piña colada life is sweet like cinnamon,' she captioned a video on the social media platform. Fresh out of college, Livvy is starting off on her own after calling it a career on her time in gymnastics. An injury sustained in her final season of college led to the fifth-year senior gymnast deciding to focus more on her social media and modeling career than sports. It doesn't mean we won't be seeing any less of Livvy around the world of sports though. Over the weekend, Dunne was spotted at Churchill Downs for the Kentucky Oaks on Friday and the Kentucky Derby on Saturday. She appeared to have a bit of an awkward moment during her 'Riders Up' call - sounding confused and shooting a weird look off camera at the end. Dunne posted a TikTok showing off her wardrobe for the event and responded to a comment saying her version of the call 'was a tough watch'. 'I couldn't hear myself because of the echo of the microphone,' Dunne, 22, wrote, adding a crying emoji. In addition to horse racing, Dunne will be likely make many more appearances in Pittsburgh to watch boyfriend Paul Skenes pitch for the Pirates.

Paul Skenes' wife Livvy Dunne responds to viral backlash with grace and humor

Her reading of the traditional "Riders Up" call before the Kentucky Oaks drew mixed reactions on the internet. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Critics said she appeared nervous, read from cue cards, and lost the spirit of the moment. But Dunne had a straightforward answer that indicated she wasn't paying attention to the gossip. Paul Skenes' wife Livvy Dunne's big Derby debut sparks online buzz It was Livvy Dunne's first-ever Kentucky Derby weekend, and she was in the thick of it. Selected to deliver the iconic "Riders Up" call ahead of the Kentucky Oaks, she was standing on stage in a pink ruffled gown and pink fascinator to match, eager to prove herself. But when she delivered the two-line statement, many in the crowd were unimpressed. One solitary "woohoo! " rang out in reply. Later, social media tore it apart, with some complaining that she gazed downward too much, sounded uncertain, or failed to memorize the script. Videos of the moment caught fire, notably one posted by NBC Sports on X. The quick backlash came with commentators pointing fingers at her delivery and blaming her for not being adequately prepared. But Livvy Dunne wasn't quiet. Paul Skenes' wife Livvy Dunne keeps it light and keeps being Livvy Dunne Rather than shooting fire with fire, Livvy Dunne went to TikTok to stealthily deal with the moment. In a glamour video showing off her Derby-day look, she posted a short, candid response to a viewer's query as to the call: " I couldn't hear myself because of the echo of the microphone." When someone else in the audience asked another fan why everyone was being so cruel to her, Livvy Dunne answered with a quick but indicative "Yes."

Despite the announcement spectacle, Livvy Dunne still had a great time at her Derby weekend. She also hosted Club SI at Churchill Downs, turning heads in her chic dress and mingling with sporting and fashion celebrities. Her pink frock, with flared shoulders and side slit, was a perfect fit for the high-fashion vibe of the day. And while the internet picked apart her mic moment, Livvy Dunne appeared more concerned with grander things. Only a few weeks prior, she officially retired from gymnastics after devoting years of her life to it. The 22-year-old has been competing since the tender age of three, and now she's entering a new era full of possibility and liberty. Speaking during a recent interview, she explained how she cannot wait for what comes next outside of gymnastics. More for herself, fresh endeavors, and yes, a bit more Kentucky Derby glitz.
