Preakness Stakes Winners by Post Position

Since the starting gate was implemented in 1909, every post position from 1-13 has produced at least one Preakness Stakes winner. However, some post positions have been more successful than others. The most successful post position is post 5, which has produced 10 winners. The least successful post position is post 1, which has only produced one winner.

Historical Trends

The Preakness Stakes has been won by a Kentucky Derby alumnus in 11 of the last 12 years. This trend is likely to continue in 2024, as the field is dominated by horses who have already competed in the Kentucky Derby.
