What time does Preakness 2024 start?
The post time is at 6:50 p.m. ET but you can catch the coverage on NBC starting at 4:30 p.m. ET, or stream on Peacock.
Baffert was set to saddle two horses in the race set to go off just after 7 p.m. EDT, but morning line favorite Muth was scratched during the week because of a fever. Mystik Dan opened Saturday as the 3-1 favorite, with Catching Freedom and Tuscan Gold each 7-2 and Imagination 9-2.
“Catching Freedom trained really well going into the Derby,” Mystik Dan's trainer, Kenny McPeek, said this week. “He’s a very nice horse. And Bob, he wouldn’t bring a horse without it being a good horse, and Chad’s also got a horse coming out of (finishing third behind winner Catching Freedom in) the Louisiana Derby. Yeah, it's not a given.”
