Trainer: William I. Mott 
Jockey: Junior Alvarado
With five appearances in the Kentucky Derby, Junior Alvarado is still looking for his first win. He may have found that with his latest colt, Sovereignty. This bay colt has triple-digit speed figures in three straight races.

Trainer: Bob Baffert 
Jockey: Flavien Prat
This lightly raced colt should be on everyone's radar ahead of the 2025 Preakness. Goal Oriented has wins in his only two career races. Moreover, he is trained by the winningest trainer in Preakness history, Bob Baffert, and his grandsire is distance guru and former Preakness winner Afleet Alex—big upset potential.

1. Goal Oriented (6-1)

https://sg-images-bucket.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/USATSI_26172913-scaled-e1747298658586-768x432.jpg

Trainer: Michael McCarthy 
Jockey: Umberto Rispoli
One of only three horses to run in the Kentucky Derby, Journalism's morning line price continues to drop. Once listed at nearly even money, this colt checks in at 8-5. Sired by Curlin, Journalism should have the legs to finish in the money.

2. Journalism (8-5)

Trainer: D. Wayne Lukas 
Jockey: Nik Juarez
Sharp bettors may gravitate toward American Promise in the Run for the Black-Eyed Susans. This D. Wayne Lukas-trained colt got a bad trip in the Kentucky Derby, setting Saturday up as an ideal bounce-back spot. Winning progeny and elite speed figures are working in his favor.

3. American Promise (15-1)

https://sg-images-bucket.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/USATSI_26173306-scaled-e1747298701881-768x432.jpg

Trainer: Jamie Osborne 
Jockey: Saffie Osborne
Any progeny from this colt's line might want to be called Always the Bride's Maid. Heart of Honor has three straight second-place finishes, but he did win at the 2024 Conditions. One of the few horses to have already been tested at this distance, Heart of Honor will be one to watch down the stretch.

4. Heart of Honor (12-1)

https://sg-images-bucket.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/USATSI_26173037-scaled-e1747298731196-768x432.jpg

Trainer: Michael Gorham 
Jockey: Raul Mena
With wins in five of his last six, Pay Billy is riding a wave of momentum into Saturday's race. Still, this colt has limited experience against top horses and hasn't been tested against Grade 1 competition—a deserving longshot.

5. Pay Billy (20-1)

https://sg-images-bucket.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/USATSI_26156992-scaled-e1747393834380-768x432.jpg

Trainer: Todd Pletcher 
Jockey: Irad Ortiz Jr. 
A Preakness win is one of the few accolades that has eluded Hall of Famer trainer Todd Pletcher. However, he might finally get off the schneid with River Thames. This three-year-old sat out of the Kentucky Derby and has top-end speed to run with the best of them—a must-play for exotics.

6. River Thames (9-2)

https://sg-images-bucket.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/USATSI_26173298-scaled-e1747298672362-768x432.jpg

Trainer: Mark Casse 
Jockey: John Velazquez
Jockey John Velaquez is just two years removed from his first Preakness win and will be looking to get back into the winner's circle with Sandman. This colt has the speed and legs to compete and should finish higher than his seventh-place run in the Kentucky Derby.

7. Sandman (4-1)

https://sg-images-bucket.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/USATSI_26163926-e1747393885263-768x432.jpg

Trainer: Steve Asmussen 
Jockey: Jose Ortiz
Clever Again has a short morning line price, but a few factors are working against him at the Preakness. This colt is lightly raced and has yet to be tested against premier competition. Further, while his progeny is solid, distance could be an issue for this sprinter.

8. Clever Again (5-1)

https://sg-images-bucket.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/USATSI_26173308-scaled-e1747298686209-768x432.jpg

Trainer: Brendan Walsh 
Jockey: Luis Saez
Another sprinter with elite speed, Gosger's post position could be his undoing at the Preakness. He doesn't have the legs to lead wire-to-wire if he finds the rail early. If he stays on the outside, he'll run out of gas before the stretch.

9. Gosger (20-1)
