The 149th running of the Preakness Stakes\u00a0is scheduled\u00a0for Saturday, May 18, 2024, at Pimlico.\u00a0Often referred to as\u00a0\u201cThe Race for the Black-Eyed Susans\u201d\u00a0because a blanket of yellow flowers\u00a0covers the winner, the Preakness is 1 3\/16 miles long and the shortest of the three Triple Crown races.\u00a0

The winner of the Kentucky Derby should headline the 2024 Preakness field. Post Preakness time\u00a0is tentatively scheduled\u00a0for 6:50 PM EST.

Mystic Dan pulled off a thrilling upset in <\/strong>the 150th Kentucky Derby,<\/strong><\/a> closing from well back to win at odds of 18-1.\u00a0<\/strong>The Ken McPeek-trained colt was largely overlooked in the betting but had a perfect trip to capture the Run for the Roses.

Mystic Dan gave trainer McPeek his first Kentucky Derby victory. Sierra Leona and Forever Young\u00a0turned in\u00a0excellent efforts to complete the trifecta, while T O Password finished fifth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Horses confirmed and ruled out for the 2024 Preakness\u00a0Stakes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Preakness Stakes field is limited to 14\u00a0horses, although that number rarely enters the starting gate. These are the horses confirmed for the 2024 Preakness Stakes following the conclusion of the Kentucky Derby:

Imagination<\/em>

Muth<\/em>

Mystik Dan<\/em>

Just Steel<\/em>

Seize the Grey<\/em>

Mugatu<\/em>

Uncle Heavy<\/em>

Tuscan Gold<\/em>

Some of the top contenders for the 2024 Kentucky Derby have opted to bypass the Preakness Stakes and rest up for the Belmont Stakes:

Sierra Leone<\/em>

Forever Young<\/em>

T O Password<\/em>

Resilience<\/em>

Sierra Leone, the Kentucky Derby runner-up, has not been training well since that race, according to his connections.\u00a0They feel the best way forward is to give him time off to recover before attempting the 1.5-mile Belmont Stakes next month.<\/strong>

Forever Young, after finishing third in the Derby, the\u00a0colt’s\u00a0trainer has decided to concentrate on the final leg of the Triple Crown. The\u00a0Belmont’s\u00a0long distance should suit Forever\u00a0Young’s\u00a0late closing style.

T O Password, a grueling fifth-place effort in the Derby for this talented but lightly raced colt.\u00a0<\/strong>His owner wants\u00a0to give him\u00a0more time between races, so TO Password will aim for the Belmont.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Surprise 2024 Kentucky Derby winner Mystik Dan will look to pull off another upset.\u00a0His late charge to win the Derby proved he had the stamina for the\u00a01\u00a03\/16-mile distance. With a Derby win\u00a0under his belt, he could be tough to beat.\u00a0<\/strong>However, Bob\u00a0Baffert’s\u00a0apprentice, Muth, skipped the Derby to concentrate on the Preakness. He has been training well in preparation for the Triple Crown. With\u00a0Baffert’s\u00a0solid Preakness record, Muth looks poised as the current favorite.

The Preakness pace projects that the firm favorite to win is Muth, as they have been preparing exclusively for this race for the past few weeks. But experienced ones like Mystic Dan and Tuscan Gold should be able to entice them to win, as the distances shorten to 1 3\/16 miles.\u00a0These are our picks for the podium.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
