Entries
A field of 9 was drawn on May 13. Muth drew post 4 as the 8-5 morning line favorite. Mystik Dan drew post 5 as the 5-2 second choice, for an expected wet running of the Preakness.[5] Two days after the draw, Pimlico officials announced that Muth had developed a 103 °F (39 °C) fever and would scratch from the race.[6]

With rain falling throughout the day, the track was declared as muddy for the race, the first time since 1939 that the race was run in such conditions.[7] Seize the Grey won the race after leading wire-to-wire, finishing 2+1⁄4 lengths ahead of Mystik Dan. Seize the Grey's victory was considered an upset victory, with the horse having the third-worst odds at post-time of the nine starters. The victory was the seventh Preakness victory for trainer D. Wayne Lukas.[8]
