2024 Preakness Stakes Update

 

The 2024 Preakness Stakes is set to take place on Saturday, May 18 at the Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore. The race is scheduled to start at 6:50 p.m. ET. Despite being unable to enter any horses in the Kentucky Derby due to a suspension, legendary trainer Bob Baffert is expected to make a comeback at Pimlico, where he has won the Preakness eight times before. Baffert's Muth is the favorite with odds of 10-11, while his Imagination has odds of 5-1.

The Preakness futures betting window shut down on Saturday, just an hour before the Kentucky Derby. Other notable contenders include Kentucky Derby winner Mystik Dan with odds of 3-1, and Chad Brown's Tuscan Gold with odds of 5-1.

But those odds are bound to get better once the new lines come out. For those thinking about becoming a horse betting bookie, this is a good lesson to learn. Always be on the ready as anything can happen to change the odds.

Before placing any bets on the 2024 Preakness Stakes, it's important to stay updated on how to bet on horses. Making the wrong bet at the wrong time could lead to a disastrous outcome for gamblers!

2024 Preakness Stakes Update and Predictions

Our horse betting expert believes that Tuscan Gold is definitely worth considering, despite being a 5-1 longshot who didn't participate in the Kentucky Derby. This horse could potentially bring in a massive payout for those willing to take a chance on him.

After placing fourth in a race won by Sierra Leone, who later became the runner-up in the Kentucky Derby, at Aqueduct last November, Tuscan Gold went on to win his first race at Gulfstream Park in January.

Afterwards, he secured a third-place finish at the Louisiana Derby and should be well-prepared for his Triple Crown debut at Pimlico. It's worth noting that the expected jockey, Tyler Gaffalione, has previously won the Preakness with War of Will in 2019, and trainer Chad Brown has claimed victory in the Preakness twice before with Cloud Computing in 2017 and Early Voting in 2022.

For those wanting to cash-on on the rest of the triple crown, it is not too late to open a racebook. At least, it isn’t if you use a Pay Per Head software as it is the easiest way to open a sportsbook.
