2017 Preakness Stakes Entries at Pimlico Race Course

Always Dreaming 4-5 - Todd Pletcher trained colt has placed in all six career starts - four terrific wins, a second and a third place finish. He enters on a four race win streak - The Kentucky Derby with ease last time out two weeks ago, the G1 Florida Derby in his stakes debut at Gulfstream April 1, an Allowance Optional Claiming March 4 and a maiden score at Tampa Bay January 25 - all four in dominant fashion. Always Dreaming has looked untouchable during his four race streak, has been poised in works leading up to this weekend and looks ready for another good run here. John Velazquez has been tabbed to ride the obvious favorite from gate 4.

Classic Empire 3-1 - Mark Casse trained Eclipse Award winning 2-year-old colt was very good in his first two career starts - two wins - in the G3 Bashford Manor Stakes with an impressive 105 Beyer Speed Figure July 2 and a maiden score at first asking May 4 - both results at Churchill Downs . He followed that with a very disappointing DNF as favorite after losing his rider in the G1 Hopeful Stakes at Saratoga September 5 but bounced in a huge way with a good win in the G1 Claiborne Breeders' Futurity at Keeneland October 8. He followed that with another impressive win in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile, a slightly disappointing third in the G2 Holy Bull Stakes at Gulfstream February 4 and yet another terrific bounce-back statement win in the G1 Arkansas Derby at Oaklawn Park April 15. Last time out was a bit of a step back - a disappointing fourth in the Kentucky Derby after a poor start and traffic in the slop. Classic Empire now has five wins and a third place finish in eight career starts against some top fields, has shown a knack of producing terrific wins after disappointing efforts and could be a good bet for the biggest win of his life Saturday - with Julien Leparoux guiding him from post 5.

Conquest Mo Money 15-1 - Miguel Hernandez trained colt has five career starts with three nice wins and two runner-up finishes.

Before that were wins in the minor Mine That Bird Stakes by an easy two lengths February 26, in the minor Riley Allison Stakes January 29 and in a MSW January 6.

Hence 20-1 - Steve Asmussen trained colt has two wins, a second and a third place finish in his seven career starts.

Senior Investment 30-1 - Kenneth McPeek trained colt has eight career starts with three wins and a third place finish.

That result followed a sixth in the G2 Louisiana Derby at Fair Grounds April 1, an Allowance Optional Claiming score February 18 and a seventh in a similar race to start his year. Senior Investment has been a tad inconsistent but off a nice, confidence-building win could be a factor Saturday. Channing Hill will be in the irons from gate 8.

Term Of Art 30-1 - Doug O'Neill trained colt has placed in five of nine eight starts - two wins, a second and three third place finishes.
