Mystik Dan's quest to join the ranks of Triple Crown winners ended during the 149th Preakness Stakes, and one of our best horse racing betting sites was posting Triple Crown odds.

Mystik Dan won a thrilling Kentucky Derby after narrowly prevailing during a three-way photo finish. He wasn't among the top favorites in our Kentucky Derby odds, but Mystik Dan still triumphed with odds as long as +2500.

However, his push to become the next Triple Crown winner ended when the thoroughbred finished second in the Preakness Stakes. Mystik Dan came on strong while challenging leader and dark horse Seize the Grey, who entered with a +1500 price in our Preakness Stakes odds. But he couldn't quite finish the job, with Seize The Grey pulling away down the stretch.

The number of Triple Crown winners will remain at 13, with Justify the last to accomplish the feat in 2018.

Here are the odds for Mystik Dan prior to The Preakness in 2024 through bet365, along with a list of previous horses to make Triple Crown history.

Triple Crown FAQ

What is the Triple Crown?

There are three races involved in horse racing's Triple Crown, beginning with the Kentucky Derby. If a horse wins the Derby and then also goes on to take the Preakness Stakes and the Belmont Stakes, it becomes a Triple Crown winner.

The title of Triple Crown winner has been up for grabs since the first running of the Kentucky Derby in 1875. Still, just 13 horses have earned the honor, and there have been periods with several Triple Crown winners and then large gaps.

For example, four of the 13 winners came in the 1940s, with the last during that decade in 1948. But then another one didn't come until the famed Secretariat in 1973.
