The 2018 Preakness Stakes is in the books. Here’s the complete finishing order from Pimlico Park in Baltimore, Maryland.

At the 2018 Preakness Stakes, horses, jockeys and their owners raced — well, really just the horses and jockeys raced — for a share of $1.5 million, a garland of black-eyed Susans and the title of Preakness champion. Justify raced for something else as well: To keep a shot at the Triple Crown alive. And the other seven horses? They raced to spoil that dream.

Entering the race, Derby winner Justify was the favorite with 1-2 odds, while Derby runner-up Good Magic posted the next best odds at 3-1. While mud was clearly a factor, that didn’t exactly change conditions from the Derby, where Justify and Good Magic when 1-2 on a sloppy track. After that, the odds offered less guidance for gamblers to go on — but, hey, that’s why it’s called gambling.

Here’s the complete list of horses running the Preakness Stakes, in post order with jockeys. It will be updated with the finishing order after the race is decided.

  1. Justify (Mike Smith)
  2. Bravazo (Luiz Saez)
  3. Tenfold (Ricardo Santana Jr.)
  4. Good Magic (José Ortiz)
  5. Lone Sailor (Irad Ortiz Jr.)
  6. Sporting Chance (Luis Contreras)
  7. Diamond King (Javier Castellano)
  8. Quip (Florent Geroux)

Justify’s team will take home $900,000 of the $1.5 million purse, while Bravazo’s second, Tenfold’s third, Good Magic’s fourth and the fifth place finishes yielded $300,000, $165,000, $90,000 and $45,000, respectively. Trainers and jockeys typically get a 5 percent cut while the winning trainer and jockey take home 10 percent.
