The second leg of the Triple Crown is set to take place this Saturday with the 147th running of the Preakness Stakes from Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore.
Epicenter will enter this race as the favorite, which is the same as we saw during the Kentucky Derby where the horse ultimately finished second. We won’t be seeing a Triple Crown winner this time around though, with Rich Strike, the winner of the 2022 Kentucky Derby, not participating.
Last year’s winner of the Preakness Stakes saw Rombauer come out on top. A $1.5 million-dollar purse will be awarded to the winner of this year’s race.
