Journalism Preakness Prediction and Pick
Journalism has had the top recent form of any horse in the field, recording a 105+ speed score in four of its last five races.
It placed 2nd in the Run for the Roses after Sovereignty, who will not be racing in Preakness. Journalism is the current favorite for this race and for good reason.
