For the first time ever, the Preakness Stakes will be run at a different course than the Pimlico Race Course. The racetrack, which is located in Baltimore, is under construction with hopes that it will be ready next season. Fourteen 3-year-old horses will run 1 3/16 miles, competing for a $2 million purse. Taj Mahal, who is trained by Brittany Russell, and Incredibolt, who is trained by Riley Mott, are both 5-1.
Great White, who is trained by John Ennis, is at 7-1. Ocelli, who is trained by D. Whitworth Beckman, and Iron Honor, who is trained by Chad Brown, are both 8-1. GOLDEN TEMPO TRAINER CHERIE DEVAUX CALLS CRITICISM OF PREAKNESS DECISION UNFAIR: 'THE HORSE IS NOT A MACHINE'Hit Zero collapsed and died Hit Zero, who was trained by Russell, came in last place after being the favorite to win.
After crossing the finish line, Hit Zero began coughing, dropped to its knees, put its head down and passed away. Fourteen horses are racing, which is the most the race has seen in 15 years. This is the second time in the last 40 years that the first- or second-place finisher from the Kentucky Derby is not racing in the Preakness Stakes.
Just three of the horses in the Preakness Stakes ran in the Kentucky Derby: Ocelli , Robusta and Incredibolt . Great White was scheduled to run in the Kentucky Derby but was scratched. On the heels of Cherie DeVaux becoming the first female trainer to have her horse win the Kentucky Derby, Russell seeks to become the first woman trainer to win the Preakness Stakes.
Trainer Brittany Russell talks to people in her barn ahead of the 102nd running of the Black-Eyed Susan Stakes at Laurel Park in Laurel, Maryland, on May 15, 2026.
