The Preakness Stakes is one of the most prestigious horse races in the world and is the second leg of the Triple Crown. This year, the race will be held at Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore, Maryland on May 20th. The Preakness Stakes will feature a field of the best three-year-old thoroughbreds in the country, and this year, one of them will be the Kentucky Derby winner, Mage.
Mage is a bay colt who was bred in Kentucky and is owned by a partnership of four people. He is trained by Bob Baffert, who has won the Preakness Stakes five times before. Mage has been a consistent performer throughout his career, winning four of his seven starts and finishing in the money in all but one. He won the Kentucky Derby by a length and a half, and now he will look to add the Preakness Stakes to his resume.
Mage will face some stiff competition in the Preakness Stakes. Among those expected to challenge him are the second and third place finishers from the Kentucky Derby, Medina Spirit and Mandaloun. There are also several other horses who have been impressive in their recent starts, including Concert Tour, Rombauer, and Crowded Trade.
The Preakness Stakes will be an exciting race, and it will be interesting to see if Mage can become the first horse since American Pharoah in 2015 to win both the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness Stakes. It will also be interesting to see if any of the other horses can challenge Mage for the win. Regardless of who wins, it will be an exciting race that horse racing fans around the world will be sure to watch.
