Kentucky Derby winner Rich Strike is sitting out the Preakness, but a field of 9 was entered on Monday for the 146th Preakness Stakes. Kentucky Derby runner-up Epicenter is the morning line favorite at 6-5 and will break from post 8. Kentucky Oaks winner Secret Oath will take on the boys at odd of 9-2 and will break from post 4.
Covid restrictions are over now, so it will be a full house this year with all the usual concerts and events. Pimlico was supposed to be torn down so a new grandstand could be built, but that hasn't happened yet, so it will be the same old venue as in the past.
Below are all the horses entered with post positions, morning line odds, and a link to a full profile. You can get free past performances here from BRISnet.com (looks for Creative Minister).
