Mystik Dan, the Kentucky Derby winner, is aiming to win the Triple Crown, a feat not achieved since 2018. Bob Baffert, a famous horse trainer, is back in the Triple Crown races with his horse Imagination after being banned from the Kentucky Derby. He is looking to secure his ninth win at the Preakness. The race features several horses with different odds of winning. Some of the contenders include Mugatu at 20-1, Uncle Heavy at 20-1, Catching Freedom at 6-1, and Seize the Grey at 15-1. Unfortunately, Muth had to be withdrawn from the race due to a high fever. Baffert, despite only having one horse in the race, remains a prominent figure in the horse racing world. Baffert, known for his success in the sport, is excited about the Preakness. He sees it as a historic and thrilling race to be a part of. Imagination, his horse with odds of 3-1, is a bit of a wildcard since it hasn't raced in six weeks. Baffert believes Imagination needs to step up its performance to stand out in the field that includes Mystik Dan. Kenny McPeek, another horse trainer, was invited to the Preakness after Mystik Dan's Derby win. He was so focused on the race that his first question was about bringing his dog, Sonny. The anticipation for the race is high, with fans eager to see who will emerge victorious at the Preakness Stakes.
