Preakness 2024: See the updated win odds from Pimlico
Baltimore
Kentucky Derby winner Mystik Dan has held firm as the 3-1 betting favorite for Saturday’s running of Preakness 2024.
Catching Freedom, the Grade 2 Louisiana Derby victor who finished fourth in the Kentucky Derby, has attracted wagering steam. He has flashed at times to 3-1 while holding mostly at 7-2 as the second choice.
Baffert returns to Pimlico, looks for 9th Preakness win.
Lightly raced Tuscan Gold, who was third to Catching Freedom in the Louisiana Derby, drifted to 4-1. He was the third choice just ahead of Santa Anita Derby (G1) runner-up Imagination, also at 4-1.
At 6:30 p.m. EDT the win pool had $11,233,240 in all-sources handle.
After the scratch Wednesday of Muth due to a fever, Mystik Dan replaced him as the morning-line favorite at 8-5. Santa Anita Derby (G1) runner-up Imagination was the 3-1 second choice on the revised line with Catching Freedom at 7-2 and Tuscan Gold at 9-2.
The Preakness is scheduled as the 13th of 14 races Saturday at Pimlico with the post time set for 7:01 p.m. EDT.
