The 2023 Preakness Stakes will be live from Baltimore, Maryland on Saturday, May 20, as Kentucky Derby winner Mage continues his chase for the elusive Triple Crown.
Last year, Rich Strike elected to skip the Preakness, robbing horse racing fans of a potential Triple Crown chase.
That won’t be the case in 2023.
Mage is expected to run at Pimlico Race Course after coming off of the pace to edge Two Phil’s in the Kentucky Derby. On the other hand, Forte, the morning line favorite at Churchill Downs, will miss the race after being placed on the veterinarian’s list. Runner-up Two Phil’s will also skip the race, giving Mage a legitimate chance to win the second leg of the Triple Crown.

Mage Expected To Be Morning Line Favorite at Preakness Stakes
After a successful practice run at Churchill Downs on Tuesday, Mage is reportedly feeling good, which bodes well for his chances of being entered in the Preakness Stakes.
According to the top online sportsbooks, Mage would be among the favorites to win the race if he enters. Kentucky Derby contenders Forte and Two Phil’s will not be running in the second leg of the Triple Crown, which could open up the door for Mage to steal the show once again.
Among the top contenders, Bob Baffert-trained horse First Mission is expected to run at Pimlico Race Course. He could be joined by Kentucky Derby scratch Practical Move. Other potential runners include Instant Coffee, Arabian Lion, and Blazing Sevens.
