Kentucky Derby winner Mystik Dan heads into Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore as the favorite after his big win at Churchill Downs and as morning line favorite Muth was dropped from the Preakness earlier this week due to fever.
Mystik Dan would be the ninth horse this century to win the first two legs of the Triple Crown if he can reach the end of 9 1/2 furlongs first. The last two horses to win the first two legs – American Pharaoh (2015) and Justify (2018) went on to win the Triple Crown, but the first six since the year 2000 could not complete the feat.
