The 2025 Preakness Stakes is set for May 17, 2025 at Pimlico Race Course, beginning at 7:01 PM ET.

Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore is poised to undergo renovations starting this summer, with demolition to commence post the 2025 Preakness Stakes. Bob Baffert, a renowned trainer with eight Preakness victories, is looking to secure another title with his horse Goal Oriented, who has drawn the No. 1 post position for this year’s race, maintaining an unbeaten record in two starts at 6-1 odds. Meanwhile, Journalism stands as the current favorite at 8-5.

In the lead-up to the race, Michelle Yu, a noted racing analyst, provides vital betting information. Following her success in the 2025 Kentucky Derby, where she correctly predicted outcomes for multiple races, Yu continues to assist bettors with her insights on the Preakness Stakes.

One of her surprising recommendations includes not backing Journalism despite his status as the favorite, considering his recent performances.
