Preakness Results 2015

American Pharoah’s Preakness win gave him the second leg of his Triple Crown triumph in 2015. He went on Grand Slam glory by adding the Breeders’ Cup Classic to his resume.

In the Preakness, American Pharoah kept it real simple by making most of the running. The rest of the field just couldn’t live with the superstar thoroughbred from the Bob Baffert barn.

American Pharoah more than justified his status as a strong favourite in the Preakness Stakes odds with a comfortable success. He won by seven lengths.

Tale Of Verse took second spot ahead of Diving Rod with American Pharoah’s stable buddy Dortmund missing the show. Here are the complete Preakness Stakes results 2015 in order:

Can Past Results of Preakness Stakes Tell Us Anything?

If you’re looking to predict Preakness results today for the 2024 race, then the past results have to be considered. All sorts of trends become clear when you start to analyse past results.

So, for example, from the recent results that we have shown you, the favorite has only won on two occasions. Those were both horses who went on to complete the Triple Crown, but more bids have failed for that than succeeded. When learning how to bet on Preakness Stakes, these are things that can help you make your picks.

Bob Baffert not only holds the record for winningest trainer in the Preakness Stakes with eight victories, but three of those have come since 2015. Arkansas Derby winner Muth may thus be a leading contender this year for the barn, who cannot have runners in the Kentucky Derby but don’t have any such ban applying to Pimlico’s big race.
