2026 Preakness Stakes Odds

Looking for the official 2026 Preakness Post Positions and Fair Odds? The Morning Line Odds for the 2026 Preakness Stakes will release following the post position draw. 

Where can I find current odds or live odds for the 2026 Preakness Stakes?

TwinSpires has real time Preakness Stakes odds available once wagering becomes available on the race and the tote system provides the data feed.

These live odds will allow for the most current odds.

The morning-line odds for the Preakness, traditionally held on the third Saturday in May, are typically released at the conclusion of the post-position draw. In recent years, the draw has been conducted during a late-afternoon ceremony in the Pimlico infield.

The current Preakness Stakes odds-maker is Brian Nadeau, who succeeded the Pimlico odds-makers of Keith Feustle and Frank Carulli.

Various television and online outlets offer coverage of the post draw and release of morning line odds.

2026 Preakness Stakes odds will be widely available online prior to the start of early Preakness Stakes betting on Friday and throughout the day on Saturday. Among the best places to find that information are at Brisnet.com and TwinSpires.com.

Unlike the Kentucky Derby, where as many as 20 horses are allowed to compete, the Preakness field is limited to a maximum of 14 starters. However, only rarely has the Preakness field attracted that many individual wagering interests. The only years the Preakness starting gate was filled to capacity was in 2011, 2005, and 1992.

The perceived quality of the Kentucky Derby winner is a major factor in the number of horses the Preakness attracts.
