2015 Preakness Stakes: Start time, live stream, TV info
The 140th Preakness Stakes will be held on Saturday at the Pimlico Race Course in Maryland.
After winning the Kentucky Derby, American Pharoah has been given 2-3 odds to win the second leg of the Triple Crown. Firing Line and Dortmund, which finished second and third at the Derby, have the next-best Preakness odds.
American Pharoah will start along the rail during the Preakness. "I don't like being down on the inside, but we'll have to deal with it," trainer Bob Baffert toldYahoo after the post position draw. Baffert also trains Dortmund.
Last year's Preakness winner was California Chrome, who had the same jockey as American Pharoah does this year in Victor Espinoza.
