In the 2024 Kentucky Derby, Mystik Dan defied the odds and emerged victorious by a nose in a heart-stopping photo finish. This triumph has positioned Mystik Dan as the frontrunner for the upcoming Preakness Stakes, the second leg of the prestigious Triple Crown.
The Preakness Stakes, a race steeped in history and tradition, is set to take place on May 18 at the iconic Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore. The draw for this momentous event is scheduled for May 13, marking a crucial step for the preparation in the journey towards the title.
Looking back at the previous year’s Preakness Stakes, it was a memorable victory for National Treasure’s jockey John Velazquez, who jockeyed Fierceness in the 2024 Kentucky Derby. Despite entering the race with 3-1 odds, National Treasure defied expectations and claimed his first Preakness Stakes victory, a testament to the unpredictable nature of this event.
With just over a week to go, the anticipation for the 2024 Preakness Stakes is building. Here are the early odds for the race, adding to the excitement around this prestigious event.
