The Preakness Stakes lost its early favorite when Muth exited the field because of a 103-degree fever. Kentucky Derby champion Mystik Dan is now the unquestioned headliner for an eight-horse field that will still bring many of the world’s most successful trainers to Pimlico Race Course.
Meet the eight contenders for Saturday’s 149th running of the Preakness:
Mystik Dan
Trainer: Kenny McPeek (2020 Preakness winner)
Jockey: Brian Hernandez Jr.
Post position: No.
