Preakness Has 16 Possible Despite Lack of Derby Runners - BloodHorse
With the first jewel of the Triple Crown in the books, the field for the 151st Preakness Stakes (G1) is shaping up to be quite large May 16 despite the lack of interest from contenders who raced in the May 2 Kentucky Derby (G1) at Churchill Downs. Of those 18 colts, only Kentucky Derby winner Golden Tempo appeared to be under consideration for the Triple Crown's middle jewel, held at Laurel Park this year as Pimlico Race Course undergoes a rebuild.
