Horse racing's Triple Crown resumes on Saturday when Kentucky Derby winner Mystik Dan attempts to add the second jewel of the Triple Crown in the 2024 Preakness Stakes at Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore, Md. Two weeks ago Mystik Dan skimmed the rail at Churchill Downs to win the Kentucky Derby by a scant nose in a three-way photo finish. He is 5-2 in the Preakness Stakes odds and inherits the favorite's role with the scratch of Arkansas Derby winner Muth earlier in the week. Post time is 7:01 p.m. ET.

With several accomplished horses set to enter the starting gate on Saturday, you'll want to see what racing insider and Beyer Speed Figure maker Bob Weir has to say before making any Preakness Stakes picks. Join SportsLine here to get his full breakdown!

A member of the Beyer Speed Figure-making team since 2017, Weir is a two-time qualifier for the prestigious National Horseplayers Championship in Las Vegas. He has produced multiple five-figure days at the track over the years, including a $60,000 Pick 6 at Del Mar in 2014 and an $18,000 Pick 5 at Tampa Bay Downs in early April!

In April of last year, he hit a Pick 4 at Gulfstream Park for $641, the exacta in the Florida Derby, a Pick 5 at Keeneland and the exacta in the Lexington Stakes. He smashed the trifecta in the Belmont Stakes for $532.96, and later in June, he crushed a Pick 4 at Belmont for $555. Those were just some of his scores for SportsLine from 2023.

And two weeks ago, Weir hit the exacta in the Churchill Downs Stakes for $852. Join SportsLine here to see what he's picking for the Preakness Stakes!

For Saturday, Weir has handicapped the 2024 Preakness Stakes field, made his picks and constructed his bets.

One surprise: Weir is high on Imagination, who is 6-1 on the morning line. "He may be alone on the lead," Weir told SportsLine. He is using Imagination prominently in his 2024 Preakness Stakes betting strategy.

Moreover, Weir's top pick is a "dangerous" horse. Weir also is high on a double-digit longshot who could "close late for a piece." Weir is including these horses in his 2024 Preakness Stakes bets, and so should you. You ABSOLUTELY NEED to see his picks before locking in any of your own.
