Preakness Gate Assignments

The 2024 Preakness Stakes week is officially underway, with Monday’s Post Position draw.

The race itself is Saturday, May 18th at Pimlico Race Course.

Once Kentucky Derby Winner MYSTIK DAN committed to the race, racing fans were anxious to see what post he would draw.

Could the horse racing world be on a Triple Crown watch?

MYSTIK DAN has been given a chance to Win the second leg of the Triple Crown and, if successful in the Preakness, he seeks to become the first horse since JUSTIFY in 2018 to Win all three legs of the Triple Crown with a Victory in the Belmont Stakes on June 8, 2024 at Saratoga.
