Authentic pays out $9 for every $5 with a Preakness Stakes win, Art Collector pays $5 for every $2 bet and Swiss Skydiver pays out $6 for every $1 bet. 

Authentic's last two races were wins, one being the Kentucky Derby.

Owned by Spendthrift Farm, MyRaceHorse Stable, Madaket Stables, and Starlight Racing, Authentic is one of two starters for trainer Bob Baffert, who owns a record 16 victories in the Triple Crown races.

Authentic will be ridden by John Velazquez and is starting from post position 9.

"I'd rather be 9 than 1 or 11," Baffert said. "It really doesn't matter as long as he breaks OK. When I drew 1 and 2 with American Pharoah  and Dortmund  (in the 2015 Preakness), I thought that was the end of the world, but it worked out. And when Authentic drew 18 (before scratches in the Kentucky Derby), I thought I was done, so 9 is fine. It is what it is. He worked fine today (a bullet four furlongs in :47 3/5 at Churchill Downs) and looks fantastic, so we're ready."
