Gate 6 holds the overall win record, meanwhile, with 16 victories.<\/p>\n<p>When you consider the draw is random, this data illustrates a point where a horse starts from matters. This is enough to see prices change drastically when comparing Preakness Stakes post positions and odds after the draw.<\/p>\n<p>While this information may be startling when learning <a href=\"https:\/\/preaknessstakesbetting.com\/how-to-bet\/\">how to bet on the Preakness Stakes<\/a>, we don\u2019t recommend basing your entire strategy on it. But to deny that some gates are better avoided would be foolish with such compelling trends.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Preakness_Post_Positions_Stats\"><strong>Preakness Post Positions &amp; Stats<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>It doesn\u2019t take long to notice patterns and trends in Preakness horse stats and data. Put simply, some gates are simply more successful than others. For this reason, we highly recommend considering the gates where past <a href=\"https:\/\/preaknessstakesbetting.com\/previous-winners\/\">Preakness stakes winners<\/a> have emerged.<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Most_Preakness_Winners_Post_Positions\"><strong>Most Preakness Winners Post Positions<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Gate 6 is the most successful post position in the history of Pimlico Race Course\u2019s showpiece event, with 16 wins. This gives this post position a 13.79% Preakness Stakes win rate, putting it ahead of 4 and 7, which both have 14 wins and 12.07% success ratios, respectively. If you are serious about betting on horse racing&#8217;s Preakness showdown this year, that cannot be ignored. Regardless if you have <a href=\"https:\/\/preaknessstakesbetting.com\/tickets\/\">Preakness Stakes tickets<\/a> or are betting online.<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Worst_Preakness_Draw\"><strong>Worst Preakness Draw<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Gate 14 on the outside of the Preakness post position draw has failed to produce a single winner in history. All other posts have had at least one triumph, with 13 the only one-time winner.

She took her rightful place in the Preakness Hall of Fame as 2016 inductee.<\/p>\n<p>While bookies making <a href=\"https:\/\/preaknessstakesbetting.com\/payouts\/\">Preakness Stakes payouts<\/a> for a win from higher draws can still happen, it hasn&#8217;t occurred very often.
