Preakness 2019: Post time, odds, jockeys, post positions and how to watch
The 2019 Preakness Stakes won't feature Kentucky Derby winner Country House, but there will be plenty of intrigue Saturday at Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore.
It will be the first time since 1996 that the Derby winner didn't run in the Preakness.
Improbable, trained by Bob Baffert and ridden by Mike Smith, is the morning-line favorite at 5-2. He raced fourth at the Derby two weeks ago. War of Will, the horse obstructed by Maximum Security in the stretch run at Churchill Downs, is the second choice at 4-1.
Post time is set for 6:48 p.m. ET on NBC.
Below are the post positions, morning-line odds, jockeys, and trainers of the entire Preakness field.
