And let's not forget about the other contenders. As always, the Preakness Stakes field is full of strong competitors, including 2022 Belmont Stakes winner, Rombauer, and Kentucky Derby third-place finisher, Mandaloun. All in all, the Preakness Stakes 2023 is shaping up to be an exciting race. With heavyweights like Mage and Baffert competing, we can expect to witness some thrilling moments on the track. So mark your calendars for May 20th, and get ready to witness history in the making.
