Saturday, May 20th 2023, will be the running of the Preakness Stakes thoroughbred horse race in Baltimore, Maryland. The Preakness is the second major race for 3-year old thoroughbreds to run in their effort to claim the Triple Crown of horse racing. Mage won the Kentucky Derby on May 6th.  Does he have a chance to win all three races?  In this activity we look at the empiracle probability of winning the second and third events.
