The 2025 Preakness Stakes is scheduled for Saturday, May 17, at Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore. This year marks the 150th edition of “The Run for the Black-Eyed Susans”, where several of the world’s leading 3-year-old horses will compete when post time hits at 6:50 p.m. ET. The race will cover a distance of 1 3/16 miles and will have a total purse of $2 million, with the winner receiving $1.2 million.

Trainers have been taking different approaches to the Triple Crown season lately, with fewer contenders participating in both the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness. Notably, this includes the Kentucky Derby champion Sovereignty, who will not race at the Preakness this year, making Journalism the early favorite with odds of 4-5.
