For a second straight year, the Kentucky Derby champion, Golden Tempo<\/a>, has opted out of the 2026 Preakness Stakes<\/strong>, so there won\u2019t be a Triple Crown winner.<\/p>\n

Rather than run in the Preakness, Golden Tempo\u2019s connections are pointing their thoroughbred toward the Belmont Stakes at the Saratoga<\/a> Racetrack next month.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The second jewel<\/a> of the Triple Crown is relocating in-state (Maryland) to Laurel Park while the Preakness\u2019s traditional track, the Pimlico Race Course, goes through renovations.<\/p>\n

GOLDEN TEMPO TO SKIP PREAKNESS STAKES, ENDING TRIPLE CROWN BID AS TRAINER CITES LONG-TERM HEALTH<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Iron Honor, the 9-2 morning-line favorite, will race 13 rivals on Laurel Park\u2019s one-and-three-sixteenth-mile dirt track Saturday, May 16, for a $2 million purse.\u00a0<\/p>\n

While Golden Tempo’s absence shifts the Triple Crown outlook, the 14-horse field at Laurel Park offers excellent value. Here is the recommended wagering strategy<\/a> for the 2026 Preakness Stakes.<\/p>\n

Talk about a horse for the course<\/i>; Taj Mahal is a perfect 3-for-3 in his career, with all three wins coming at Laurel Park. He\u2019s run a faster Beyer speed figure and a longer distance all three times out. Taj Mahal is tied for the second-fastest “early speed” in this race and starts on the rail.<\/p>\n

This could be a great setup for Ocelli. He is one of the three “closing” horses in this field and has run a faster Beyer in four consecutive races. If there is a “pace melt” in the Preakness, he could chase down the leaders on the final stretch.<\/p>\n

His 94 at the Kentucky Derby is the third-fastest speed figure in this race. The Whitworth Beckman trainee proved he is fit for the longer distance when he finished third in the Kentucky Derby a few weeks ago. Ocelli looks good in training with three straight blazing-fast workouts leading into the Preakness.<\/p>\n

A disappointing start to his 3-year-old season with two fifth-place finishes at the Grade 2 Fountain of Youth and Grade 2 Wood Memorial. But Napoleon was 2-for-2 as a 2-year-old in New York.<\/p>\n

He broke his maiden at Saratoga with a 5.25-length win on debut, and he backed it up with a 6.5-length win at the Grade 1 Champagne at Aqueduct last year.<\/p>\n

Napoleon\u2019s Champagne win earned a 95 Beyer, tied for the fastest in this race. If he can regain the speed from his 2-year-old season, Napoleon can hit the board at the Preakness.\u00a0<\/p>\n
