As the Preakness odds continued to move, Friday's Pimlico Special-Preakness double will-pays provided a glimpse of how the final odds may look. Economist and horse owner Marshall Gramm detailed the Preakness imputed odds based on the double below:
The weather at Pimlico has been sunny with the main track rated fast and the turf course yielding after wet weather late in the week.
One change was noted for the Preakness horses. Jesus' Team will run with bar shoes.
The 11th of 12 races on the Pimlico program, the Preakness has a scheduled post time of 5:36 p.m. ET.
