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.

Churchill Downs' Big Bet to Elevate the Preakness and Revive the Triple Crown

A Horse Racing Nation column argues Churchill Downs Inc.’s $85 million bid to acquire Preakness IP signals a push to restore the Preakness’ prestige and could involve moves like a race reschedule and bigger purses; it critiques Cherwa’s plan while urging concrete, actionable steps from track owners to save the Triple Crown rather than rely on rhetoric.

Golden Tempo Fallout Sparks Call to Rewrite the Triple Crown Calendar

The piece argues that Golden Tempo’s decision to skip the Preakness exposes a dated Triple Crown schedule, noting multiple Derby winners bypass the middle leg in recent years. It urges moving the Preakness (and Belmont) to later dates—while keeping Derby, Preakness, and Belmont distances intact—to protect horses’ health, value, and public interest. Cherie DeVaux is praised for her handling, and the author predicts Golden Tempo will target a Belmont at Saratoga, but warns the sport must adapt or lose its star power.

Derby Champion Golden Tempo Skips Preakness to Focus on Belmont

Derby winner Golden Tempo will skip the Preakness to focus on a Belmont Stakes bid in June, trainer Cherie DeVaux said after the Derby win. The decision follows a pattern of Derby winners not racing in the middle leg since 2018 and comes amid ongoing talks about potential changes to the Triple Crown schedule and its TV rights, with Belmont now the likely next target for the colt.
