Iron Honor Emerges as Morning-Line Favorite in a Wide-Open Preakness 151
Iron Honor, the Gotham-winning Nyquist colt trained by Chad Brown, drew post 9 and is the 9-2 morning-line favorite for Preakness 151 at Laurel Park, in a 14-horse field—the largest since 2011—as Pimlico renovations moved the race. Taj Mahal drew the rail at 5-1, Ocelli 6-1, and Incredibolt 12-1; Brown hopes an early pacemaker sets up a relaxed trip for Iron Honor after a not-ideal last start.
