full list of runners for HUGE showpiece race
THE second of the Triple Crown races is finally here as seven horses aim to win big at Preakness Stakes.
Mage is the big favourite after winning the Kentucky Derby earlier this month.
The three-year old Colt is looking to become just the 14th ever Triple Crown winner, with Belmont Stakes to take place in June.
A Mage victory at Pimlico Race Course would set him well on his way to a huge achievement next month.
But there are other horses also looking to claim glory in Baltimore.

Mage now becomes a huge favourite to win the race with 8/5 odds.
And Forte, who was favourite for the Kentucky Derby last month but was ultimately scratched on race day, is still unable to take part here.
