Only a handful of Derby runners planning trip to Pimlico – ESPN

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Animal Kingdom ruled over 18 other 3-year-olds in the Kentucky Derby Saturday, and it looks as if he’ll face another large field May 21 in the Preakness Stakes at Pimlico. But the composition of the two fields will be in stark contrast, as no more than four of the 18 horses Animal Kingdom defeated in the 137th Derby likely will come back for the second leg of the Triple Crown.
Most notable among Animal Kingdom’s challengers will be Dialed In, who finished eighth as the favorite in the Derby and will be shooting for a $5.5 million bonus in the Preakness. Mucho Macho Man, who was third Saturday, and Shackleford, who was fourth, also are expected. Santiva, who was sixth, is possible.
