Preview About 144th Preakness
Seven-time Preakness-winning trainer Bob Baffert will again be aiming for the top prize as one of his best colts takes the track.
With the initial top-four finishers from the Kentucky Derby all missing from the second leg of the Triple Crown, Improbable has gained traction as the early favourite before the post position draw.Improbable was also the favourite in Kentucky, but he was eventually placed fourth after Maximum Security was disqualified for interference.
The Baffert-trained colt has failed to win in three starts in 2019, but the absence of Maximum Security could see him prevail at the weekend. Mike Smith rode Justify to success in the Preakness and the subsequent Triple Crown last year, and he will be aboard Improbable at the weekend.
Horse racing fans may be deprived of a Country House Triple Crown bid – the first time the Kentucky Derby champion hasn’t run at the Preakness since 1996 – but there are a few other storylines to root for.
Alwaysmining will be a hometown favorite as he looks to become the first Maryland-bred horse to win the Preakness since Deputed Testamony did so in 1983. Alwaysmining is entering on a bit of a hot streak, the winner of his last six races. Adding to his local charm, his trainer Kelly Rubley is a former middle school science teacher.
Final Word: Anothertwistafate has shown excellent pace in his preparations for the 144th Preakness, and the Blaine Wright-trained contender could produce a surprise at the weekend.
