Restored to its traditional slot as the central jewel in the Triple Crown, the Preakness Stakes is a 1-and-3/16-mile blood and thunder dash down the dirt track at Pimlico Race Course.
Medina Spirit starts from the No. 3 post, but has the specter of retrospective disqualification hanging above him, with the results of his second drugs due in a few weeks' time.
The horse's stablemate Concert Tour - also trained by Baffert - is expected to run Medina Spirit the closest, having won three of his four races, and finishing third in an impressive show at the Arkansas Derby last month.
With 10 three-year-old Thoroughbreds straining every sinew to be the first past that post, whose colors will be painted on the famous jockey-and-horse weather vane? Find out how to watch this year's race with our guide to getting a 2021 Preakness Stakes live stream from anywhere in the world.
