PREAKNESS STAKES
saturday // may 20
G1 - $1,500,000
SCENE SETTER: Three straight Preakness winners were horses who did not compete in the Kentucky Derby, beginning with Swiss Skydiver (2020, October edition during pandemic), Rombauer (2021) and Early Voting (2022). It’s an era reminiscent of the start to the 1980s when Codex (1980), Aloma’s Ruler (1982) and Deputed Testamony (1983) all had Preakness success in a 4-year span. That rash of new shooters was followed by 17 straight Derby alumni winning at Old Hilltop. Derby vets have won by a 3-1 margin over the last 40 years. Among this year’s new shooters, trainer Chad Brown tries to go back-to-back with Blazing Sevens. Brad Cox has First Mission among the favorites.
1/ST BET FACTORS, POWERED BY BETMIX:
Among the most important 1/ST BET individual handicapping factors for the Preakness Stakes historically have been Avg. Earnings Distance, Best Speed Distance and Avg. Speed Last 3.
Last year’s winner Early Voting rated first in 6 of the top-15 1/ST BET factors for the Preakness, among those Best Speed Fast Track and Best Lifetime Speed.

KNOW THIS
The only favorite to win the Preakness in the last 7 editions was 2018 Triple Crown winner Justify, who held off Bravazo’s rally by a half-length.
The last 9 Preakness editions have had at least 1 horse in the trifecta who did not compete in the Kentucky Derby. In 2013, the top-5 finishers all were Derby alumni.
The past 2 Preakness editions combined have had just 1 horse go off at odds above 20-1.
Horses last raced at the Keeneland meet have finished in the Preakness top-3 in 5 of the last 8 years.
Post 6 has produced the most Preakness winners all-time with 17, most recently Rombauer in 2021. The rail has only 4 wins since 1950, but includes American Pharoah (2015) and War of Will (2019) in recent vintages.
Only 2 Preakness winners have done so by a double-digit margin. Smarty Jones (2004) won by 11-1/2 lengths more than a century after Survivor (1874) scored by 10.
The Preakness has averaged 10.7 starters over the past 25 years, ranging between a high of 13 and a low of 8.
16 of the last 26 Preakness winners were named Champion 3-Year-Old, as was last year’s runner-up Epicenter.

PREAKNESS STAKES
JEFF'S TAKE
G1 - $1,500,000
SCENE SETTER: The meteoric rise of MAGE from a January 28 debut to a May 6 Kentucky Derby winner was historic on many levels. He joined Justify (2018) as the only Derby winners since 1882 to not have raced as a 2-year-old. And he became just the fourth Derby winner since 1900 to win the roses in only his fourth lifetime start, joining Regret (1915), Big Brown (2008) and Justify (2018). Notably, Big Brown and Justify parlayed their Kentucky Derby scores into Preakness glory as well – Regret did not compete in the Preakness. The last horse to win the Derby at 15-1 or more odds and add a Preakness win was I’ll Have Another in 2012.
1/ST BET FACTORS, POWERED BY BETMIX:
Among the most important 1/ST BET individual handicapping factors for the Preakness Stakes historically have been Last E2 Pace and Best Speed Fast Track and Speed Last Race.
2021 Preakness winner Rombauer ranked first in 6 of the 1/ST BET handicapping factors for the race, but none of those were top-10 factors.

G1 - $1,500,000
SCENE SETTER: Trainer Steve Asmussen has had the Preakness runner-up each of the past 2 years in Midnight Bourbon (2021) and Epicenter (2022). This will mark his seventh straight Preakness with at least one starter, the longest active streak in the race. Twice Asmussen has hoisted the Woodlawn Vase, 2007 with Curlin and 2009 with Rachel Alexandra. His chance this Saturday is Oaklawn stakes winner Red Route One. Bob Baffert returns to the Preakness after a 1-year absence and looks for a record-breaking eighth victory in this race. He’ll saddle National Treasure in search of his first Preakness win since Justify in 2018.
1/ST BET FACTORS, POWERED BY BETMIX:
Among the most important 1/ST BET individual handicapping factors for the Preakness Stakes historically have been Avg. Lifetime Earnings, Avg. Best 2 of Last 3 Speed and Best Lifetime Speed.
2020 Preakness winner Swiss Skydiver ranked first in 7 of the 1/ST BET handicapping factors for the race, but none of those were top-10 factors.
