The expected field for Saturday's Preakness Stakes stands at thirteen horses, the most since 2011. Trainer Bob Baffert has won the Preakness seven times and brings one of the favorites--Improbable--to Pimlico this year. The race is a sixteenth of a mile shorter than the Kentucky Derby won this year by Country House who is not running on Saturday due to an illness.
