Inputs, odds and post positions

There will be no Triple Crown bid in 2019, but the absence of the top four in the Kentucky Derby has led a number of connections to try their luck on Saturday. Preakness Stakes.

Thirteen horses have been registered, making it the largest Preakness group since the 1 3/16 mile race in 2011.

This year's derby is dominated by two of Derby, probably the Improbable favorite and War of Will, who was caught off guard by some controversial obstacles with maximum safety disqualified on the first Saturday of May. Among the so-called Triple Crown series, the new shooters are the winners of the last draw, Alwaysmining and Owendale.

The time of publication is at 18:48. Saturday at the Pimlico Racecourse, which hosts the race for the 144th time. NBC will broadcast.

Here is an overview of the Preakness pitch with coaches and jockeys:1. War of Will, 4-1 (Mark Casse / Tyler Gaffalione): There have been moments of anxiety in the Derby, but he has no doubt all managed to get out of the race with a lot of energy and has reasons to be safe. improve it can avoid traffic problems. The pace at which War Front's son must put pressure should be a fight for favoritism. He was twice winner in 2019.

2. The Bourbon War, 12-1 (Mark Hennig / Irad Ortiz Jr.): Another player to whom Derby's dreams have been annihilated is a confirmed runner who will add a few small flashers in hopes that Tapit's son will be closer to the pace. He did not have much to compete in the Florida Derby (G1), but delivered a nice rally to finish second at the Youth Fountain (G2).3. Charge of the Warrior, 12-1 (Brad Cox / Javier Castellano): Completed by his owners for $ 150,000, Munnings' son, raised in Florida, proved he could win around two rounds and record Oaklawn's speed records, which made him gave the match. A relatively late addition to the potential area, it contributes significantly to the early pace.4. Improbable, 5-2 (Bob Baffert / Mike Smith): The coach is looking for his eighth record of Preakness, a record – all his future winners have left the Derby – and adds Smith for the first time. The jockey insists that he can improve this horse, which is winless this year and who could finally be involved earlier in Pimlico with the new driver.5. Owendale, 10-1 (Brad Cox / Florent Geroux): Into Mischief, the colt, bounced back after missing the board in the Resurrected Star (G2) to win Keeneland's Lexington (G3) victory all along the turn. Cox says distance is "a question mark," but Owendale's racing style makes him fit to last.

6. The king of the market, 30-1 (Wayne Lukas / Jon Court): What is a Preakness without Lukas? His 44th starter record played the 11th time of the season in the Blue Grass Stakes (G2), but the coach blamed it for making a quick U-turn after finishing third in Oaklawn's Rebel (G2). Market King is now fresh, and Lukas will discover if his foal is more than a miler.7. Always Mining, 8-1 (Kelly Rubley / Daniel Centeno): On a run of six wins at Laurel Park, he passed all tests, ranging from distance and last rank in a dominant Federico Tesio Stakes win. Then comes a class question. He wants to become the first winner of Preakness High in Maryland since 1983.

8. Signalman, 30-1 (Kenny McPeek / Brian Hernandez Jr.): The ties with the 2nd year winner also let the Derby in as eligible – Signalman had a hack at the eye that required a bit of time – and brought a fresh horse in this race. General Quarters' son was third in Keeneland's Blue Grass (G2).

9. Bodexpress, 20-1 (Gustavo Delgado / John Velazquez): The horse is a young girl and Preakness is one of the main races missing from Velazquez's CV. Even though Bodexpress finished 13th in the Derby, he more than justified his trip there, getting cut on the right and trailing behind while making an offer in the far corner.

10. Everfast, 50-1 (Dale Romans / Joel Rosario): Maybe he's the next Oxbow. This Preakness was surprised in 2013 by Calumet Farm, which sends this winner of a race on 10 starts for life. Everfast's best race was won by the second place of the Holy Bull (G2) at 128-1. Since then, he has not scored since three starts.

11. The laughing fox, 20-1 (Steve Asmussen / Ricardo Santana Jr.): Union Rags' son has won three of five starts this season and won Oaklawn's inaugural inaugural game on May 4 against a slight speed bias . He was also fourth behind some class foals – Omaha Beach, Improbable and Country House – in the Arkansas Derby (G1).

12. Another player, 6-1 (Blaine Wright / Jose Ortiz): The connections are spent on the Derby with a free trip "Win and you are at the game" at Preakness in hand. The colt, three-time winner in synthetic material, finished second in the third consecutive year on the ground. Do you consider this in the trip or a preference for another area?

13. Win Victory 15-1 (Michael Trombetta / Julian Pimentel): He finished ninth in the Derby with a valid excuse. This one simply did not take the slope. Trombetta bases his charge in Maryland, where he has already stumbled once with Alwaysmining. The son of Hat Trick may have the configuration he needs to finish in style.
