In the Preakness Stakes this year the horse to beat is Mage. Mage has run great and looked really strong only a couple of weeks ago in the Kentucky Derby. With that being said, the Preakness is missing a lot of the star packed punches for trainers and horses alike and outside of First Mission Mage will not be challenged that much at all. Preakness Stakes Winner Prediction, Mage.
