Horses in the 150 th Preakness Stakes The field of nine horses will reach the starting gate at Pimlico Race Course at 7:02 pm ET. These are all the contenders, along with morning-line odds.

Journalism (8-5): The favorite after a great trip in the Kentucky Derby, where a aloppy track may have held him back. American Promise (15-1): Could give 89-year-old trainer D. Wayne Lukas his record-tying 8th win at the Preakness Stakes. Coming off a rough trip in the derby (16th). Heart of Honor (12-1): Bred in the UK, making most of his starts in Dubai. The jockey is Saffie Osborne, the 23-year-old daughter of the trainer. Pay Billy (20-1): Purchased for only $60,000 last year. Needed four appearances to break his maiden but has won four of his last five starts. River Thames (9-2): Earned enough points to run in the Kentucky Derby, but connections decided to rest. Gives Todd Pletcher a great chance at his first Preakness win. Sandman (4-1): A popular pick in the derby that finished 7th. Bought for $1.2 million, connections hope the Arkansas Derby winner has enough gas in the tank after racing two weeks ago. Clever Again (5-1): Son of Triple Crown winner American Pharoah. Trained by Steve Asmussen, who has won this race multiple times. In great form, but not many races to go off of. Gosger (20-1): Needs much faster times to compete with this field. Names after former MLB player Jim Gosger, the colt won the G3 Lexington Stakes in his last start. Preakness Betting Promos, Handicapping Tools Get started by signing up with the welcome offer.

Spectators have gathered at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky, to witness the 'Run for the Roses' dating back to 1875. The initial idea for Churchill Downs sparked in 1872, when Colonel Meriwether Lewis Clark attended the Epsom Derby in England. When Clark made his way back to the states, he sought to create a track similar to England's that Kentucky racers could call home. A few years later, that desire came to fruition, as 'Churchill Downs' was born. The track's first official race day came on May 17, 1875, with three major stakes races – the Kentucky Derby, Kentucky Oaks and Clark Handicap. Who won last year's Kentucky Derby? Mystik Dan won the 2024 Kentucky Derby in an exciting three-horse photo finish at Churchill Downs. Which horses have the best shot to win the 2025 Kentucky Derby? How many horses can qualify for the Kentucky Derby? Only 20 horses earn a spot in the starting gate. Click here for the most updated list of entries.

Horses that finish in the top five earn points. The horses with the most total points on the American road earn a spot in the Kentucky Derby, and invites will be extended to the top point earners on both the Japan and European/Middle East roads.
