Simplification (6-1) Trainer: Antonio Sano Jockey: John Velazquez Sire: Not This Time Owner: Bobo, Tami and De Meric, Tristan Last Race: Kentucky Derby, 5/7, CD, 4th, 96 Jay Privman: Shuffled back early, had to wait in some traffic on turn, got out, finished well, continues to turn in solid races. Marty McGee: Colt has been a real stalwart; has enough to be a major player in the exotics if things shake out in his favor. :: Bet The Preakness with confidence!

Creative Minister (10-1) Trainer: Kenny McPeek  Jockey: Brian Hernandez Jr Sire: Creative Cause Owner: Fern Circle Stables and Back Racing, LLC Last Race: CD allowance, 5/7, CD, 1st, 92 Jay Privman: Making stakes debut following two wins going two turns after adding Lasix. Gets more distance but loses Lasix. Marty McGee: Been highly touted since before his first Fla. start and has run big his last two; different ballgame here, though. 3. Fenwick (50-1) Trainer: Kevin McKathan Jockey: Florent Geroux Sire: Curlin Owner: Villa Rosa Farm and Harlo Stable Last Race: Blue Grass, 4/9, KEE, 11th, 44 Jay Privman: Had some early inside trouble in Blue Grass, worked way into position, gave way readily; seems ambitiously placed here. Marty McGee: Hopes of reliving the Tampa Bay Derby Day upset apparently spurred this entry; one with little to no chance. 4. Secret Oath (9-2) Trainer: D. Wayne Lukas Jockey: Luis Saez Sire: Arrogate Owner: Briland Farm Last Race: Kentucky Oaks, 5/6, CD, 1st, 94 Jay Privman: After nightmarish trip in Ark. Derby, returned to face females and was emphatically best in Oaks. Adds intrigue to race. Marty McGee: Oaks victory still reverberating, but is she good enough to get past Epicenter and maybe a couple of these others? :: Get ready for the Preakness with DRF past performances, picks, and betting strategies! 5. Early Voting (7-2) Trainer: Chad Brown Jockey: Jose Ortiz Sire: Gun Runner Owner: Klaravich Stables Inc. Last Race: Wood Memorial, 4/9, AQU, 2nd, 96 Jay Privman: Smartly managed to bypass Derby -- where pace would have doomed his chances -- and point for this instead. Marty McGee: Surely connections are hoping he's a 2.0 version of their '17 Preakness winner Cloud Computing; many similarities. 6. Happy Jack (30-1) Trainer: Doug O'Neill.  Jockey: Tyler Gaffalione. Sire: Oxbow Owner: Calumet Farm Last Race: Kentucky Derby, 5/7, CD, 14th, 75 Jay Privman: Was outrun throughout in Derby. Considering way race unfolded, had every opportunity to pick up some pieces, but didn't. Marty McGee: Calumet ascribes to the popular theory of 'Can't win it unless you're in it,' which largely explains his presence here. 7. Armagnac (12-1) Trainer: Tim Yakteen.  Jockey: Irad Ortiz Jr. Sire: Quality Road Owner: SF Racing, Starlight Racing, Madaket Stables, Stonestreet Stables LLC, et al Last Race: SA allowance, 5/8, SA, 1st, 93 Jay Privman: Was decided cut below likes of Taiba and Messier in stakes earlier this season. Wheeling back in 13 days. Marty McGee: Does get Irad, which will attract tote attention, but seems doubtful he can stick with the top ones down the lane. 8. Epicenter (6-5) Trainer: Steve Asmussen Jockey: Joel Rosario Sire: Not This Time Owner: Winchell Thoroughbreds LLC Last Race: Kentucky Derby, 5/7, CD, 2nd, 100 Jay Privman: Been the most consistent, accomplished member of this crop to date. Turned in another sharp effort in Derby. Marty McGee: Standout colt looking to become the first Derby runner-up to win this as the favorite since Prairie Bayou in 1993. :: Get Preakness Betting Strategies by for exclusive wagering insight, contender analysis, and more 9. Skippylongstocking (20-1) Trainer: Saffie Joseph Jockey: Junior Alvarado Sire: Exaggerator Owner: Daniel Alonso Last Race: Wood Memorial, 4/9, AQU, 3rd, 91 Jay Privman: Went kind of one-paced in Wood while never really making impact on top two. Think he's a cut below. Marty McGee: Figures as one of the longer prices on the board, and deservedly so; outside threat to end the tri or super.
