Preakness 2022: When, what time is the race? Will there be a Triple Crown winner?

While the Preakness is the second race in the three races that make up the sport’s Triple Crown, there will not be a Triple Crown winner in 2022. Rich Strike, who was an 80-1 underdog when he won the 2022 Kentucky Derby two weeks ago, will not be running in the 2022 Preakness.
