post positions, draw and post time for huge race
THE second of the Triple Crown races Preakness Stakes is finally here - and Mage will be looking for another big victory.
Having roared his way to victory at the Kentucky Derby earlier this month, Mage is the favourite to do so again here.
He'll have some tough opposition to fend off this weekend, however, but his jockey Javier Castellano has been victorious at Preakness before.
And though the pair will have it tough, they come up against some inexperienced horses in their pursuit of Triple Crown glory.
Mage will be up against the likes of First Mission and Blazing Sevens, as well as big outsider Il Miracolo.
We have all the details on how to keep up to speed with the action on Saturday.
