2023 Preakness Stakes Prediction

Now, I know that we lost our Kentucky Derby bet, but that is not a bad thing because that means that we are due for a winner this weekend. Let’s be honest outside of a few horse races, we are not betting on horses weekly, so when these events come around, it is a big deal, and it is time to lock in here. The favorite for the Preakness is Mage. Mage will look to keep his dreams alive of winning the Triple Crown and win the Preakness today. The second favorite is National Treasure who has who holds odds of 4/1 at the moment. Blazing Sevens rounds out the top three, as his odds are currently at +600. 

The bottom line here is there is one heavy favorite, and then the rest of the field is pretty wide open, according to the books. The bet that we are going to make here will be Blazing Sevens to win the race. The odds here are too good to pass up, and I will take a long shot here! Let’s cash in.
