What is the 2025 Preakness Stakes post position draw results? Full Field, horse contenders, early odds
The 2025 Preakness Stakes from the Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore, is officially a week away. Although it has been confirmed that the Kentucky Derby winner Sovereignty will not participate, the race is wide open for any horse to claim victory.
Before the action begins at the Middle Jewel of the Triple Crown, owners, jockeys, and horses will determine their starting positions during the post position draw. This draw, a crucial part of the race, will set the stage for the Grade 1 event, which will be run with 3-year-old thoroughbred horses, many of whom are part of the same field that raced in the Kentucky Derby. The race will cover a distance of 1 3/16 miles on a dirt track.
Although early favorites, including Kentucky Derby winner Sovereignty and the Bob Baffert-trained Rodriguez, have withdrawn from the race, a strong group of contenders remains. Baffert is still aiming for his ninth Preakness victory with a horse named Goal Oriented, who has drawn post position No. 1.
Notably, the additional horses that competed in the Kentucky Derby, American Promise, have drawn post position No. 3, while the runner-up, Journalism, has drawn post position No. 2.
