Sovereignty will not run in the Preakness Stakes 2025, but Jody Demling, who has nailed the last two Preakness Stakes trifectas, just revealed his Preakness Stakes picks for the Saturday, May 17 race

Just as he was in the days leading up to the Kentucky Derby a couple of weeks ago, Journalism (8-5) is the favorite following the Draw for Post Positions for the 150th Preakness Stakes. Journalism drew the No. 2 post Monday in a field of nine for the $2 million, second leg of the Triple Crown.

The 150th running of the Preakness Stakes takes place Saturday at Pimlico Race Course and features three horses fresh off of runner-up spots in the Kentucky Derby, including Journalism, who is the clear favorite to leave Baltimore with a victory in the second leg of the Triple Crown.
