Latest Preakness Stakes odds after post draw

The second race of the coveted Triple Crown is coming up this weekend.

Normally, the Preakness Stakes would provide an opportunity for fans to see whether the winner of the Kentucky Derby would have a legitimate shot at a Triple Crown, but after it was announced that Derby winner Sovereignty would not participate in the Preakness, the field is wide open for a new winner.

Of course, the odds can shift tremendously based on the post position of each horse. With the post draw taking place, here are the latest odds for each horse in this year’s Preakness Stakes on Saturday. All odds via The Preakness Stakes.

2025 Preakness Stakes post draw, odds:

*Jockeys are listed in parentheses

  1. Goal Oriented (Flavien Prat) | 6-1
  2. Journalism (Umberto Rispoli) | 8-5
  3. American Promise (Nik Juarez) | 15-1
  4. Heart of Honor (Saffie Osborne) | 12-1
  5. Pay Billy (Raul Mena) | 20-1
  6. River Thames (Irad Ortiz Jr.) | 9-2
  7. Sandman (John Velazquez) | 4-1
  8. Clever Again (Jose Ortiz) | 5-1
  9. Gosger (Luis Saez) | 20-1

Journalism is the heavy favorite after the post draw, and rightfully so. Journalism has never finished worse than third in any race it has competed in. In fact, the horse won four of its six races. Journalism’s remarkable speed score of 111 also makes it a pretty safe bet to win.

That stellar résumé is reflected in the odds. Journalism’s 8-5 odds are way higher than the next-best horse, Sandman, who sits at 4-1 currently.
