This year’s Preakness carries added intrigue, as Kentucky Derby winner Sovereignty will not compete, eliminating the possibility of a Triple Crown champion in 2025. Instead, the nine-horse field is wide open, with several compelling storylines and contenders vying for the $2 million purse and the coveted Woodlawn Vase.
Journalism, the Derby runner-up, enters as the 8-5 morning-line favorite. Trained by John Sadler and ridden by Umberto Rispoli, Journalism boasts an impressive resume but must rebound quickly after a grueling Derby effort. Hot on his heels are Sandman (4-1), winner of the Arkansas Derby, and River Thames (9-2), who brings strong closing speed to the mix. Clever Again (5-1), son of Triple Crown legend American Pharoah, is another to watch, especially with Hall of Fame trainer Steve Asmussen in his corner.
Adding to the drama is Heart of Honor, a 12-1 longshot trained by Jamie Osborne and ridden by his daughter, Saffie Osborne, who seeks to become the first female jockey to win the Preakness. Local fans will also be cheering for American Promise, piloted by Maryland native Nik Juarez.
