Get caught up with Goal Oriented's past performances, jockey, trainer and full analysis heading into the second leg of the Triple Crown

Goal Oriented has two wins in two career starts, including a victory at Churchill Downs the day of the Kentucky Derby. The colt is trained by Bob Baffert, who is looking for his ninth Preakness victory. Jockey Flavien Prat won the Preakness in 2021, in addition to winning the Kentucky Derby in 2019.

His standout performance came in the 2025 San Felipe Stakes, where he posted a career-best Beyer Speed Figure of 108, the highest in the Preakness field. With Sovereignty sitting this one out, Journalism has a prime chance to take centre stage.
