2022 Preakness Stakes Field

Comments by Jay Privman and Marty McGee
Keeneland Logo - designates Keeneland sale graduate
Post Horse/ Best Beyer Trainer/ Jockey
1 Simplification 96 Antonio Sano John Velazquez 6-1
Trainer: Antonio Sano Jockey: John Velazquez
Last Race: Kentucky Derby, 5/7, CD, 4th, 96 Owner: Bobo, Tami and De Meric, Tristan Sire: Not This Time
JP: Shuffled back early, had to wait in some traffic on turn, got out, finished well, continues to turn in solid races. MM: Colt has been a real stalwart; has enough to be a major player in the exotics if things shake out in his favor.
2 Creative Minister 92 Keeneland Logo Kenny McPeek Brian Hernandez Jr. 10-1
Trainer: Kenny McPeek Jockey: Brian Hernandez Jr.
Last Race: CD allowance, 5/7, CD, 1st, 92 Owner: Fern Circle Stables and Back Racing, LLC Sire: Creative Cause
JP: Making stakes debut following two wins going two turns after adding Lasix. Gets more distance but loses Lasix. MM: Been highly touted since before his first Fla. start and has run big his last two; different ballgame here, though.
3 Fenwick 88 Kevin McKathan Florent Geroux 50-1
Trainer: Kevin McKathan Jockey: Florent Geroux
Last Race: Blue Grass, 4/9, KEE, 11th, 44 Owner: Villa Rosa Farm and Harlo Stable Sire: Curlin
JP: Had some early inside trouble in Blue Grass, worked way into position, gave way readily; seems ambitiously placed here. MM: Hopes of reliving the Tampa Bay Derby Day upset apparently spurred this entry; one with little to no chance.
4 Secret Oath 94 D. Wayne Lukas Luis Saez 9-2
Trainer: D. Wayne Lukas Jockey: Luis Saez
Last Race: Kentucky Oaks, 5/6, CD, 1st, 94 Owner: Briland Farm Sire: Arrogate
JP: After nightmarish trip in Ark. Derby, returned to face females and was emphatically best in Oaks. Adds intrigue to race. MM: Oaks victory still reverberating, but is she good enough to get past Epicenter and maybe a couple of these others?
5 Early Voting 96 Keeneland Logo Chad Brown Jose Ortiz 7-2
Trainer: Chad Brown Jockey: Jose Ortiz
Last Race: Wood Memorial, 4/9, AQU, 2nd, 96 Owner: Klaravich Stables, Inc. Sire: Gun Runner
JP: Smartly managed to bypass Derby -- where pace would have doomed his chances -- and point for this instead. MM: Surely connections are hoping he's a 2.0 version of their '17 Preakness winner Cloud Computing; many similarities.
6 Happy Jack 83 Doug O'Neill Tyler Gaffalione 30-1
Trainer: Doug O'Neill Jockey: Tyler Gaffalione
Last Race: Kentucky Derby, 5/7, CD, 14th, 75 Owner: Calumet Farm Sire: Oxbow
JP: Was outrun throughout in Derby. Considering way race unfolded, had every opportunity to pick up some pieces, but didn't. MM: Calumet ascribes to the popular theory of 'Can't win it unless you're in it,' which largely explains his presence here.
7 Armagnac 93 Keeneland Logo Tim Yakteen Irad Ortiz Jr. 12-1
Trainer: Tim Yakteen Jockey: Irad Ortiz Jr.
Last Race: SA allowance, 5/8, SA, 1st, 93 Owner: SF Racing, Starlight Racing, Madaket Stables, Stonestreet Stables LLC, et al Sire: Quality Road
JP: Was decided cut below likes of Taiba and Messier in stakes earlier this season. Wheeling back in 13 days. MM: Does get Irad, which will attract tote attention, but seems doubtful he can stick with the top ones down the lane.
8 Epicenter 102 Keeneland Logo Steve Assmussen Joel Rosario 6-5
Trainer: Steve Assmussen Jockey: Joel Rosario
Last Race: Kentucky Derby, 5/7, CD, 2nd, 100 Owner: Winchell Thoroughbreds LLC Sire: Not This Time
JP: Been the most consistent, accomplished member of this crop to date. Turned in another sharp effort in Derby. MM: Standout colt looking to become the first Derby runner-up to win this as the favorite since Prairie Bayou in 1993.
9 Skippylongstocking 91 Keeneland Logo Saffie Joseph Jr. Junior Alvarado 20-1
Trainer: Saffie Joseph Jr. Jockey: Junior Alvarado
Last Race: Wood Memorial, 4/9, AQU, 3rd, 91 Owner: Daniel Alonso Sire: Exaggerator
JP: Went kind of one-paced in Wood while never really making impact on top two. Think he's a cut below. MM: Figures as one of the longer prices on the board, and deservedly so; outside threat to end the tri or super.

Preakness Stakes

The second jewel of the Triple Crown is the Preakness Stakes, run at Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore, Maryland. The Grade 1 race for three-year-old Thoroughbreds is run over 1 3/16 miles and has a purse of $1.5 million. The Preakness is a proving ground for the Kentucky Derby winner, who tries to take the second leg and head into New York with a shot at the Triple Crown. But it is also a place where “fresh” horses that bypassed the Derby offer a new challenge. The Preakness is also only two weeks after the Derby, which is a turnaround most horses haven’t faced, and won’t ever again. Some of the best Preakness winners include horses that did go on to take the Triple Crown, such as Secretariat, Seattle Slew, and American Pharoah. It is a race that has been won by fillies - female horses - twice in the last 15 years: Swiss Skydiver and Rachel Alexandra. Trainer Bob Baffert is tied for the most wins in the Preakness with 1870s trainer R. Wyndham Walden; they each have seven. D. Wayne Lukas has six victories.
