The post up positions have been announced for this year's Preakness Stakes and Kentucky Derby winner Mystik Dan is NOT the favorite.

It's Muth at 8-5 with a payout potential of $160 on a $100 bet.

Muth was ineligible to run in this year's Kentucky Derby as his trainer, is still serving a suspension at Churchill Downs.

Last July, Baffert had another year tacked on to his two-year suspension by Churchill Downs Inc., which was set to expire in 2023. The additional punishment came despite no positive drug or medication tests involving the 71-year-old trainer’s horses during that time.

CDI imposed the original penalty after Baffert’s 2021 Derby winner, Medina Spirit, flunked a post-race drug test. The colt tested positive for a legal medication that isn’t allowed on race day in Kentucky. Medina Spirit was later disqualified.

Post up positions were announced on Monday with Mystik Dan coming in with the second shortest odds paying $250 for every $100 bet.
