River Thames Preakness Prediction and Pick

River Thames hasn't raced since early April but posted encouraging results in earlier spring races and flashed real top-end speed in their most recent showing. With an accomplished trainer and jockey at the helm, River Thames should be considered a top contender for the 2025 Preakness Stakes.
