Bet The Preakness Stakes with Bovada
The 143rd running of the Preakness Stakes takes place this Saturday, May 19th. The world’s best thoroughbreds will head to post around 6:20pm ET in hopes of claiming the prestigious second leg of the Triple Crown. Survey the field and place your bets with Bovada.
Legendary trainer Bob Baffert’s horse Justify lived up to the hype with a 2.5 length victory in the Kentucky Derby just two weeks ago. The first horse since 1882 to win the Derby after not racing at all as a 2-year old, Justify is the prohibitive favorite for the Preakness at 2/5.
The horse judged to have the best chance at dethroning Justify is Good Magic. Runner up in the Derby, Good Magic is trained by Chad Brown who helped produce the 2017 Preakness winner, Cloud Computing. Good Magic is currently listed at 3/1.
After the two favorites the rest of the field resembles a dart board, with every horse currently receiving long odds from 16/1 to 33/1.
Bettors can also place money on a variety of props including the Triple Crown (6/4 Yes, 1/2 No).
New sports bettors will receive a 50% up to $250 bonus on their first real money deposit. Create your Bovada account now and be ready for the Preakness!
