UPDATE 5/16: Behindatthebar was scratched on Friday from Saturday's 133rd Preakness Stakes at Pimlico Race Course because of a bruise in his left front foot, trainer Todd Pletcher said, according to DRF.com.

The second leg of the Triple Crown unfolds on Saturday, and Derby winner Big Brown is a big favorite for the 133rd running of the Preakness Stakes.  The post positions were drawn for the race on Wednesday afternoon in Baltimore and Big Brown finds himself in the No. 7 post of a 13-horse field. That is a far cry from the 20th slot he came out of at Churchill Downs two weeks ago and unlike the outside slot (12th) he exeperienced in the Florida Derby earlier this year.

Unfamiliarity can also best describe the field that will attempt to keep the colt from continuing his quest for the first Triple Crown in thrity years. Only one of the 19 horses that opposed Big Brown in the Kentucky Derby will be lining up in the gate in the Preakness, Gayego (finished 17th).

The field, from the rail out, is Macho Again (Julien Leparoux the rider), Tres Borrachos (Tyler Baze), Icabad Crane (Jeremy Rose), Yankee Bravo (Alex Solis), Racecar Rhapsody (Robby Albarado), Big Brown (Kent Desormeaux), Macho Again (Jamie Theriot), Stevil (John Velazquez), Riley Tucker (Edgar Prado), Giant Moon (Ramon Dominguez), Gayego (Smith), and Hey Byrn (Chuck Lopez).

The Preakness, the shortest of the Triple Crown races at 1 3/16 miles, is the 12th race on a 13-race Pimlico card that begins at 10:30 a.m. Eastern time on Saturday. The Preakness will be televised live by NBC, with a 6:15 p.m. post time.

The purse for the Preakness is $1 million, with $600,000 going to the winner.
