Kentucky Derby winner Rich Strike will not be running in the 147th Preakness today. So no triple crown. There are nine horses in the field for the 7:01 post time in Baltimore.
Epicenter was the favorite for the Kentucky Derby and came in second, but Simplification has better odds this week.
I would pick Skippylongstocking based on the name alone!
