 The Field Is Set The 151st Preakness Stakes field is set. Monday's draw at Laurel locked in 14 starters, with Iron Honor drawing post 9 as the 9-2 morning-line favorite. Taj Mahal drew the rail as the home-track 5-1, and a three-horse cluster at 5-1 (Taj Mahal, Chip Honcho, Incredibolt) makes this one of the most open Triple Crown second legs in recent memory. With both Derby winner Golden Tempo and expected favorite Crude Velocity skipping, this is a wide-open spot. The Black-Eyed Susan card on Friday has its own story too. Our 2026 E-Z Win® Forms for both Preakness Weekend cards are now live. Choose Laurel on May 15 (Black-Eyed Susan) and May 16 (Preakness) on the Toteboard to get them. What We're Watching The Preakness pace shape is contested, not honest. Taj Mahal is the most obvious front-runner but he's not alone - Pretty Boy Miah, Chip Honcho, Great White, Napoleon Solo, and Robusta all prefer to run in the first three at the first call. With six horses going for early position, the trip that matters is the stalking spot. That's where Iron Honor has been running all spring, and Chad Brown's Preakness blueprint (Wood Memorial start, six weeks' rest, fourth career start) fits him precisely. Deep closers Ocelli and Bull by the Horns are the upside plays if the front five cook each other. For the full breakdown, our Preakness post-draw analysis has the 14-horse field, storylines, and what we'll be tracking. Plus Ed Meyer's free picks for Saturday's Preakness Day stakes are up - Incredibolt in the Preakness, with picks for the Maryland Sprint, Dinner Party, and Gallorette too. A Note on Pricing The Black-Eyed Susan card runs 14 WinningCredits™, the Preakness card is 20, and the Belmont Stakes card runs 20. That's 54 credits across the Triple Crown's second-half marquee days. If you're playing all three, Winner's Circle ($99/mo) covers all three plus 7 more cards of your choice that month, plus all our premium features (Cost Calculator, Spread Ticket builder, Popup Stats, Extended Past Performances).

What Members Are Saying | “Thanks for the great card at Gulfstream yesterday -- hit the late Pick 5 for over $25,000!” — Michael T., Caledonia, NY |
| “I thought you would enjoy these pictures. Its the first time I won >100k at the track in 25+ years of track betting. To say that I am a happy new subscriber is an understatement!! Excellent job and great advice, Thank you!!!” — Mark A., Fort Lauderdale, FL |
| “Nailed Pick 4 at Turf Paradise today for the full 2.00 bet! After reading your selections, and wagering your top three in the Pick 3, I went back for the Pick 4, and looked at the selections for race 1 really hard. With all the even-odds horses in that race, getting a long shot didn't seem possible. But after noticing that in fact, horse 5 in the 1st race, had come in 7th in his last race, his ONLY turf race, but the dirt track before that he had won, I said aha! I went with WP selections for the 2,3,4 race, and once my number 32.00 horse won the first leg, I knew there was a chance! With your NUMBER ONE pick winning the 2nd leg, AND 3rd leg, AND 4th leg, it was worth it to "go for the money" by picking the overlooked number 5 horse in the 1st leg. He may have been "turf to dirt", but that was deceptive, in fact he only had ONE turf race, and had WON the dirt before that one. Talk about a red flag! How did anyone miss this beaut?
Anyways, thanks for picks! I made over 1,100 today, INCLUDING 70 dollars just boxing your picks, .10 superfecta in race 5 for a mere 2.40!
