Preakness 2026 odds, favorite, post positions for field at Laurel Park

Iron Honor was made the 9-2 morning-line favorite during Monday’s draw for the Preakness Stakes, set for Saturday, May 16, at Laurel Park in Laurel, Maryland.

Iron Honor drew the No. 9 post in a full field of 14 horses for the $2 million, Grade 1 Preakness.

Iron Honor, trained by Chad Brown, will enter the Preakness off a seventh-place finish in the Grade 2 Wood Memorial on April 4 at Aqueduct.

The Preakness is being held at Laurel Park because of renovations at Pimlico Race Course, the traditional host track located in Baltimore.

Post time is set for 7:01 p.m., and NBC will have live coverage from 4-7:30 p.m.

There will be no Triple Crown on the line, as Kentucky Derby winner Golden Tempo will skip the Preakness. Trainer Cherie DeVaux announced last week that Golden Tempo will point toward the Belmont on June 6 at Saratoga.

Only three horses who competed in the Kentucky Derby are entered in the Preakness — Ocelli (third in the Derby), Incredibolt (sixth) and Robusta (14th). Great White also was in the field at Churchill Downs but was scratched after tossing his jockey just before going into the starting gate.

Incredibolt was a late addition to the Preakness field Monday.

"He came out of the Derby in good shape, and we have been clocking the field of (Preakness) horses and we thought it would be the right opportunity to try the horse back," trainer Riley Mott said.
