Kentucky Derby champion Nyquist will eschew the tradition of saddling on the Pimlico turf course and instead be saddled inside, trainer Doug O’Neill said.

Yet more horses arrived at Pimlico today for Saturday’s Preakness, while the connections of two contenders opted to pass on the Middle Jewel.
The Maryland Jockey Club will offer six mutli-race wagering pools worth a guaranteed $4.15 million on Preakness day, including a $2 million guaranteed Pick 4.
Kentucky Derby show horse Gun Runner will skip Saturday’s Preakness Stakes, trainer Steve Asmussen said today.
At a glance, Nyquist is eminently forgettable. But his calmness, presence, and ability to influence his surroundings mark him as something else altogether,
