Expert Picks and Odds for 2023 Preakness Stakes

Trainer Chad Brown will attempt to win back-to-back Preakness Stakes with Blazing Stevens in the 2023 Preakness Stakes field. Blazing Stevens is well-rested, having bypassed the Kentucky Derby despite qualifying. Blazing Stevens is 6-1, giving him the third-lowest 2023 Preakness Stakes odds. The favorite, Mage (8-5), and the Baffert-trained National Treasure (4-1) have shorter odds than Blazing Sevens. Elite horse racing handicapper Jody Demling is high on Blazing Sevens, despite the fact that he's outside the top two favorites at 6-1. Demling has also locked in his 2023 Kentucky Derby picks for Mage, the Kentucky Derby winner and 2023 Preakness Stakes favorite.

"Expert picks and predictions for 2023 Preakness Stakes betting"

With the scratch of First Mission, National Treasure becomes the most likely value bet in the Preakness Stakes, as Mage is expected to be odds-on. While Mage is still the most likely winner, National Treasure's front-end threat is now even stronger with one less competitor. Betting on 1, 5, 6, 7 in verticals may also make sense if Mage's tank is empty.
