Preakness Stakes 2024: TV coverage and post time for Pimlico race

Jon Hoefling

Kentucky Derby contender Just Steel on the track for a workout Thursday morning at Churchill Downs April 25, 2024 in Louisville, Ky. Trainer for Just Steel is D. Wayne Lukas. It's Lukas' first Derby since 2018. He's won four Kentucky Derbys, six Preakness Stakes and four Belmont Stakes.

The 2024 Preakness Stakes runs tonight. Kentucky Derby winner Mystik Dan will look to continue on the path toward a Triple Crown title, which would be the first since Justify in 2018. With early favorite, Muth, scratched from the race, Mystik Dan's chances were looking more and more promising each day leading up to tonight.

Still, Mystik Dan is only racing against one horse who competed against him in the Kentucky Derby -- Catching Freedom. Each of the other six competitors were not involved in Louisville, meaning Mystik Dan could be in for a rude awakening against competition he's never experienced before. It's sure to be a thrilling race in Baltimore.

Here's when to watch the 149th annual running of the Preakness Stakes.
