You can bet the Preakness Stakes online from Tennessee and Kentucky in the comfort of your home at any one of the internationally licensed racebooks, none of which will ever require a social security number.
Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky, home of the Kentucky Derby, is the place to be to watch the live simulcast of the Preakness Stakes.
Watch the running of the Preakness Stakes on the Big Board, plus enjoy 11 live races including the Grade III Louisville Handicap. In celebration of the Preakness tradition, Churchill Downs will be serving the Black-Eyed Susan as the drink of the day. Box seats start at just $10.
Tennessee does not have race tracks. You may want to stay home and place your bets online or via your mobile devices. The state does not explicitly prohibit horse bets from being placed and, in fact, allows such activity via interstate simulcast wagering; and pari-mutuel wagering are permitted at licensed satellite teletheatres. There are no laws prohibiting online horse betting.
There are advantages to betting at either internationally licensed online racebooks or US-based racebooks that we review below.
