all in Triple Crown

There could not have been a more agonizing defeat than the one Hall of Fame trainer Steve Asmussen endured as he attempted to end a 0-for-24 drought in the Kentucky Derby Presented by Woodford Reserve on May 7.

The news that upset Kentucky Derby Presented by Woodford Reserve winner Rich Strike would skip the Preakness Stakes and wait for the Belmont Stakes Presented by NYRA Bets on June 11 came as a surprise

As much as the Kentucky Derby Presented by Woodford Reserve winner will not be at the Preakness Stakes, the middle jewel of the Triple Crown will have a heavy favorite. Epicenter, who was second in the run for the roses, was installed as a heavy 6-5 favorite in the Preakness.

Opportunity knocks for bettors at major racing events because those cards draw the best horses and trainers from across the country combined with elite local runners. That means full fields of talented horses and plenty of live longshots for Preakness Stakes weekend May 20 and 21 at Pimlico Race Course.

So, let’s try to kick the door down with some huge prices and make some money!

Each week, members of the media around the country vote on the nation's top contenders on the Triple Crown trail in the NTRA Top Thoroughbred Poll.

The poll will run weekly through June 5. Find out the latest 2022 top 3-year-old rankings below.
