Saturday's Preakness Stakes, second jewel of the Triple Crown, drew only three of the 19 Kentucky Derby starters, but the race nonetheless has plenty of interesting facets.

Kentucky Derby winner, Sovereignty, will not participate in the Preakness Stakes, the second leg of the Triple Crown.

Gosger may not have the most appealing name of the horses he will share Saturday's course with, but he could be the surprise of the race. The product of sire Nyquist and dam Gloria S (by way of Tapit), the colt has found success early in 2025.

Kentucky Derby winner Sovereignty will not compete in the 150th Preakness Stakes on May 17. Because of this decision, there will be no Triple Crown winner this year, but Sovereignty will prepare to run the Belmont Stakes in June.
