Muth: Preakness Stakes Horse Odds, History and Prediction
The second leg of the Triple Crown, the 149th Preakness Stakes, is scheduled for Saturday, May 18th, at Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore, Maryland.
The Preakness Stakes field of nine horses was drawn on Monday, May 13th.
Muth could not run in the Kentucky Derby, due to being trained by Bob Baffert, whose Medina Spirit was disqualified after the 2021 Kentucky Derby.
Update: Muth is a scratch from the Preakness Stakes.
Muth Preakness Stakes Odds and Post Position
Muth's morning line odds are 8-5, making him the favorite.
Muth drew post position 4.
