Overview

  • The 151st running is Saturday at 6:50 p.m. ET on NBC and Peacock from Laurel Park.
  • Iron Honor is the 9-2 morning-line favorite after the draw, with Taj Mahal, Chip Honcho and Incredibolt close behind.
  • Kentucky Derby winner Golden Tempo skips the race as trainer Cherie DeVaux rests the colt for the Belmont, ending any Triple Crown chance.
  • The one-year move from Pimlico to Laurel follows a $400 million rebuild, with a shorter 1,089-foot stretch and attendance capped near 4,800.
  • History is in play with trainer Brittany Russell seeking the first Preakness win by a woman with local ace Taj Mahal, and maiden Ocelli trying to be the first winless starter to take the race since 1888.
