How To Watch Preakness Stakes 2018?
After a remarkable performance in the 2018 Kentucky Derby, Justify will head to the Preakness Stakes as the heavy favorite and with talk of a potential Triple Crown beginning to intensify.

The second of the three major races this year presents an altogether different challenge, with a tighter track and fresh foes.

With so many favorites prevailing in the Kentucky Derby in recent years, there’s been plenty of Triple Crown buzz before the Preakness Stakes. After all, American Pharoah completed the box set of titles in 2015.
It was the first time in 37 years that feat had been achieved, and it was Baffert who had expertly trained the history-making colt. His expertise and experience have got so many buoyed about Justify potentially claiming the treble.
The omens are certainly positive for the Preakness. As noted by Game Day‘s Chris Fallica, in the past, Baffert’s horses have had no problems making the quick transition from Churchill Downs to Pimlico: Preakness 2018
