The Preakness Stakes at Laurel Park, Md., could feature a historic finish even if there is no chance to produce a Triple Crown winner<\/a> this year.<\/p>\n

The Preakness post time is 4:01 p.m. PDT. The race will air on NBC.<\/p>\n

Kentucky Derby winner Golden Tempo<\/a> isn\u2019t running the Preakness. Cherie DeVaux<\/a>, the first woman to train a Derby winner, said the schedule was too tight for Golden Tempo, with two weeks between races. <\/p>\n

But trainer Brittany Russell has prepared Taj Mahal<\/a> for the race and could follow up on DeVaux\u2019s big win with one of her own. Russell would be the first female trainer to win the Preakness and could extend a potential female trainer Triple Crown bid in an industry long dominated by men.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt would sort of feel like probably a fairy tale,\u201d Russell said of a potential win. \u201c \u2026 It would mean an awful lot.\u201d<\/p>\n

Iron Honor in the ninth post position opened the day favored slightly at 9-2. Taj Mahal in post No. 1, Chip Honcho in post No. 6 and Incredibolt in post No. 12 were not far behind with 5-1 odds. <\/p>\n

Taj Mahal has one other edge, winning three previous races at Laurel Park, current home of the Preakness.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Preakness Stakes at Laurel Park, Md., could feature a historic finish even if there is no chance…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":319388,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[126019,133334,101294,48,52,51,133331,47,50,49,3554,133329,13445,133328,2211,40391,133330,133332,133333,430,72],"class_list":["post-319387","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-los-angeles","tag-cherie-devaux","tag-chip-honcho","tag-first-woman","tag-la","tag-la-headlines","tag-la-news","tag-laurel-park","tag-los-angeles","tag-los-angeles-headlines","tag-los-angeles-news","tag-odd","tag-post-time","tag-post-no","tag-preakness","tag-race","tag-russell","tag-taj-mahal","tag-trainer-brittany-russell","tag-triple-crown-winner","tag-week","tag-year"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/319387","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=319387"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/319387\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/319388"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=319387"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=319387"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=319387"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
