Bold Forbes and Honest Pleasure Vie for Preakness Title
In Baltimore the 101st Preakness on May 15 pits Bold Forbes and Honest Pleasure, the Derby top two, against four to five other 3-year-olds for the $150 000 added crown. Trainers Jolley and Barrera weigh tactics as Life's Hope and Elocutionist join the field, with Belmont prospects and Triple Crown hopes shaping the race. Despite Derby victory margins, only Secretariat has gone on to win the Belmont and the Triple Crown among Preakness victors.
