Who is the favorite to win the Preakness in 2025?
After being favored to win the Kentucky Derby and finishing second, Journalism has the shortest odds to win the Preakness this year at 8-5 (as of Thursday).
It would mark the first win at Churchill Downs for jockey Umberto Rispoli, and the second for trainer Michael McCarthy (2021, Rombauer).
The 3-year-old colt got its name from co-owner Aron Wellman, who was the sports editor of the Beverly Hills High School newspaper. Journalism won four straight races prior to the Kentucky Derby and has never finished worse than third in six career races, all with Rispoli as the jockey.
