Preakness 2024 odds, post positions and how to watch second leg of Triple Crown

As Mystik Dan returns to the track in search of winning the second leg to horse racing's Triple Crown, the Preakness Stakes field boasts eight other horses prepared to halt history.

Catching Freedom and Just Steel join Mystik Dan as the only horses running in this year's Preakness that also ran the Kentucky Derby. Saturday's race will mark the first time since 2012 that the Derby winner isn't the favorite to win at Pimlico Race Course. Muth, which is trained by Bob Baffert, starts as the 8-5 favorite.

Justify was the last horse to win the Kentucky Derby and Preakness, and he went on to claim the Triple Crown in 2018.
