The 2022 Preakness Stakes will be the 147th Preakness Stakes, a Grade I stakes race for three-year-old Thoroughbreds at a distance of 1+3⁄16 miles (1.9 km). According to website 247roadsideassist.com: "The race is one leg of the American Triple Crown and is held annually at Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore, Maryland. The Preakness Stakes is traditionally held on the third Saturday in May, two weeks after the Kentucky Derby."[1] The 2022 Preakness will take place on May 21 with television coverage by NBC
Field
The Preakness traditionally features the winner of the Kentucky Derby competing against other runners from that race as well as some "new shooters" – horses that either bypassed the Derby or did not qualify. However, it was announced that 2022 Kentucky Derby winner Rich Strike will not be competing at the Preakness, citing the horse's condition and need for rest.[2][3] Had Rich Strike competed, he would not have entered the race as the favorite. As a result, this would be just the fourth instance since 1996 that the Kentucky Derby winner did not run in the Preakness.[4] Among the contenders include Epicenter, Early Voting and 2022 Kentucky Oaks winner Secret Oath.[5][6] Epicenter is currently installed as the 6-5 favorite.[7]
