The Kentucky Derby after-party has been reduced to a table (or stable) for one. The Preakness, the second leg of thoroughbred racing’s Triple Crown, will be contested Saturday with just a single horse moving on to Baltimore from Louisville: Derby winner Mage.
That’s it, that’s the list. The shortest list since before the Korean War.
It’s the first time in 75 years that only one Derby starter has entered the Preakness

#8 – Balpool

#9 – Faiza
Never left Bob’s barn
Owner’s a Baltimore guy
Entered with purpose
#10 – Taxed
If not for Wet Paint
She might have been Oaklawn’s best
Some price potential
#11 – Cats Inthe Timber
A home-team hopeful
Will need a deeper gas tank
To win near the pace
#12 – Towhead
Big jockey pickup
Turf might be her best surface
Strange fit for this race
Prediction
Connections want this
Faiza wins like a good thing
One, three round it out
Bloodhorse – Angst – Lexington Stakes Winner First Mission Out of Preakness
TDN – First Mission Out Of Preakness According To Godolphin
The dining room was half-empty May 18 but full of murmurs of concern. None of the Kentucky Derby runners except the winner Mage are even in the Preakness, the first time since 1948 only one horse pressed forward to the second leg of racing’s Triple Crown.
So, no developing rivalries to follow. Just some shiny and suspect new shooters from the second or even third divisions of the national racing armies of powerful trainers Brad Cox, Steve Asmussen, and Chad Brown.
Not a single representative from those three camps bothered to attend. This, not that you need me to remind you, is for one of the sport’s most important races. These more important people couldn’t be bothered.

The National HBPA has never done anything more than insist that the regulatory authority writing the rules for this industry be structured in a way that respects the constitutional rights of all horsemen and be operated in a way that is transparent, responsive and accountable. We will continue to fight for these rights in court. We believe the best path forward for the industry—the best way to keep our horses and their humans safe—is a regulatory framework built on those principles: transparent, responsive, accountable, constitutional.
