The 2023 Preakness Stakes took its next step on Monday evening when the post positions for the event at Pimlico Race Course were revealed. The two favorites will be bookending the posts, with National Treasure (4-1) running out of the No. 1 position and First Mission (5-2) running out of the No. 8 spot.

2023 Preakness Post Positions, Jockeys and Trainers

The eight-horse field is much smaller than the nearly 20-horse field we saw run at the Kentucky Derby two weeks ago, but that isn't exactly a new trend.

While the No. 5 spot is the only pole position to produce double-digit winners (10) at the Kentucky Derby, the Preakness has eight spots (1-8) that have produced at least 10 winners. The pole position that has produced the most winners in Preakness history is the No. 6 spot with 16 total winners. After that, the No. 4 and No. 7 spots are tied with 14 winners, followed by the No. 5 spot with 13 winners.

While the No. 6 spot has produced the most winners, it's been a decade since Oxbow in 2013 was the last horse to win it out of the No. 6 post position.

Here's each horse listed by post position along with their early odds to win the race, trainers and jockeys.
