The 150th running of the Preakness Stakes is Saturday with a 7:01 p.m. ET post time at Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore. Kentucky Derby favorite Journalism ended up finishing second in that race to Sovereignty, who won't be running in the Preakness. That means the hope of a Triple Crown this year has been dashed.

Journalism is again the morning-line favorite at 8-5 in a nine-horse field, but those odds will likely shorten as we get closer to the race.

Yahoo Sports spoke with Lane Gold, host of Kentucky's Winners Circle, to preview the favorites and long shots in the race, as well as get a few bets he likes.
