Authentic will look to become the 38th horse to win the Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes when he breaks from the No. 9 gate on Saturday at 5:36 p.m. ET from Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore. Twenty-four horses have won only those two races, while 13 others have gone on to win the Triple Crown. With the Triple Crown schedule flipped around, Saturday's 2020 Preakness Stakes marks the third jewel this season after the Belmont Stakes was held in June and the Kentucky Derby ran in September. Belmont Stakes winner Tiz the Law isn't in the 2020 Preakness Stakes field, putting all eyes on Authentic.
Authentic is the 9-5 favorite in the 2020 Preakness Stakes odds from William Hill. Other 2020 Preakness Stakes contenders with double-digit odds like Mr. Big News (12-1) and Max Player (15-1) could make noise after they finished in the top five at the Kentucky Derby. Before making any horse racing predictions, you'll want to see the latest 2020 Preakness Stakes picks from SportsLine's Jody Demling.
**SNIP**
One surprise: Demling is high on Max Player, even though he's a 15-1 long shot in the latest Preakness Stakes odds 2020. He's a target for anyone looking for a huge payday. The Steve Asmussen-trained colt is the only horse set to appear in all three 2020 Triple Crown races. He fell short in the Belmont Stakes (third) and the Kentucky Derby (fifth), but those top-five results proved he can run with the top three-year-old horses.

Baffert’s two and Art Collector. Pimlico has a tremendous card on tap.
Refused to watch the derby this year after last years ‘fix’. I’m done.
Keeneland probably has better racing today in any case.
ML/NJ
Prediction: One horse shot dead and two others wounded as gunfire erupts in Baltimore. For those of you who don’t know, Pimlico race track is located in the most dangerous neighborhood in America.
Once again, not watching. I’ve almost completely forgotten.
MJC/Stronach had to rub our faces in our supposed “racism” along with all the other goose-stepping sheep so I’ve had it.
I’m sure they’ll be virtue-signalling as at the Derby with “BLM” on their jock pants.
Dayton, OH. Direct TV no local stations broadcasting. What’s up?
NBC has it.
