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 Triple Crown is made up of the big three 3-year-old thoroughbred horse races: the Kentucky Derby, Preakness Stakes and Belmont Stakes. Only 13 horses have won all three races in the Triple Crown, the last being Justify in 2018.
