El Preakness en Laurel Park lo tiene todo, menos al ganador del Derby de Kentucky
- The 151st Preakness Stakes is running at Laurel Park, not Pimlico, due to ongoing renovations.
- No clear Derby winner is favored, with six horses at 8-1 or shorter odds.
- Laurel’s shorter final stretch may favor local contender Taj Mahal, who is undefeated there.
- Brittany Russell trains Taj Mahal and hopes to complete a Triple Crown bid on his home turf.
- Whit Beckman’s Ocelli is a Derby contender aiming to build on his assets despite a long odds history.
- Chad Brown notes the race remains highly competitive despite Golden Tempo’s spotlight.
- The race could spark a future star, with Brown suggesting the Preakness may reveal a horse’s breakout campaign.
- DeVaux became the first woman to train a Kentucky Derby winner two weeks earlier.
- Laurel Park hosts the race while Pimlico undergoes reconstruction, with plans to return to Pimlico in 2028.
- Chastened by the field, experts emphasize the broader significance of the Preakness for the sport this year.
