2025 Preakness Stakes Horse Owners: Entries, post positions, key contenders, and more
Reported by NBC Sports · May 16 at 6:16 AM · Summary by Hoofdeck
The 150th running of the Preakness Stakes is set for Saturday, May 17, with coverage starting at 4 PM ET on NBC and Peacock. Journalism, runner-up in the Kentucky Derby, is the morning line favorite, and Bob Baffert is seeking his 9th Preakness win with Goal Oriented.
Background
The Preakness is the second leg of the American Triple Crown for Thoroughbreds, run at Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore. Horses that race in the series usually need a strong prep season, and trainers and owners often choose a race based on the horse's recovery and the distance.
Why it matters
Owners of racehorses follow the Triple Crown to track how their horses and rivals compare, and results shape breeding value and sale prices.
What you can do
If you have a Thoroughbred in training, check your trainer's plans for the upcoming races and confirm your horse's entry and nomination status with the track or racing office.
