A Low Post Position a Plus In Preakness
In recent years, having a low post position in the Pimlico Preakness Stakes has certainly been a great way to find the winner.
In 2015 American Pharoah and in 2019 War Of Will both won from gate 1, while 82% of the last 11 winners came from stalls 6 of lower.
This would mean Blazing Sevens (7) would have this Preakness trend to overcome.
Is Gate 5 The Magic Preakness Number?
Following on from the key draw trend in the Preakness, it seems horses from gate 5 have had an advantage in recent times. A massive 8 of the last 11 horses from post position 5 have been placed (top 3), while this was backed up 12 months ago again when the winner Early Voting won from stall 5.
This year’s gate 5 horse is Red Route One.
Respect ‘New Shooters’ In the Preakness Stakes
In the past it was key to side with a horse that had run in the Kentucky Derby – between 1984 and 2005 a massive 21 of the 22 Preakness Stakes winners ticked this trend.
However, this stat has taken a turn the other way recently. Since 2006, horses that bypassed the Churchill Downs race have picked up. Bernardini (2006), Rachel Alexandra (2009), Cloud Computing (2017), Swiss Skydiver (2020) Rombauer (2021) and last year’s winner Early Voting (2022) all DIDN’T run in the Kentucky Derby.
This year of the 8 Preakness Stakes runners – only Mage ran in the Kentucky Derby last time out.

What About the Preakness Stakes Favorite?
In the last 11 runnings of the Preakness Stakes we’ve seen three winning favorites, which works out at a 27% strike-rate.
We’ve also had 9 of the last 11 market leaders in the race finish in the top 4 – so even those favorites that don’t win are never far away.
12 months ago in 2022, the Preakness favorite Epicenter came second.
The 2023 Preakness Stakes favorite will be Mage.
Are Blinkers Really a Plus In The Preakness?
The Preakness trends tell us that wearing blinkers isn’t all it’s cracked up to be in the Preakness Stakes. Yes, some horses act well in this headgear and it will keep them focuced on the job at hand, plus it also helps avoid the kickback for hold-up performers.
However, since 2012 the stats tell us only California Chrome in 2014 has won wearing blinkers – meaning 91% of the last 11 winners DIDN’T need the headgear to win the Preakness Stakes.
This year, National Treasure, Blazing Sevens, Red Route One and Coffeewithchris will all wear blinkers.
How Many Kentucky Derby Winners Have Won the Preakness Stakes?
Over the years there have been 23 horses that have won the Kentucky Derby and then only won the Preakness Stakes.
However, we’ve also had 13 US Triple Crown winners, which would have also won both the Churchill Downs and Pimlico races.
This means since the 1875, when the Kentucky Derby was first run, there have been 36 horses that have won both the Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes.
The last two winners of both races – Justify (2018) and American Pharoah (2015) both went onto land the US Triple Crown.
Mage will be the latest horse to try and add his name to this roll or honour.
