Although there is no Triple Crown title on the line this year, the competition remains intense. Kentucky Derby winner Sovereignty and Preakness Stakes champion Journalism both have the opportunity to join the select group of horses that have claimed two out of the three Triple Crown races—a distinction achieved by only 45 horses in the sport’s history. Their much-anticipated showdown is the main story heading into the race, with Journalism considered a top contender and Sovereignty not far behind.
Baeza, who finished third in the Derby and opted out of the Preakness for additional rest, is attracting attention as a possible upset pick. Rodriguez, trained by the renowned Bob Baffert, is also in the mix after missing the Derby due to injury but returning with strong credentials. The lineup is completed by Hill Road, Crudo, Uncaged, and Heart of Honor.
