Preakness Stakes post time, odds, TV channel, live stream for Saturday's race
Mage continues his quest for the Triple Crown on Saturday at the Preakness Stakes at Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore.
Mage won the Kentucky Derby by one length two weeks ago at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky, and now will take on a much smaller field – down to seven horses after First Mission was scratched Friday morning – in the second leg of the Triple Crown.
The 3-year-old chestnut colt is looking to become the first Kentucky Derby winner to also win the Preakness since Justify did it in 2018 on his way to winning the Triple Crown.
Should Mage win the Preakness, he could then seek to become the 14th horse to win the Triple Crown at the Belmont Stakes on June 10.
