With the Kentucky Derby in the rearview mirror and the calendar flipped to May, it's time for the Preakness Stakes.

As is always the case, the field for the Preakness Stakes will look a whole lot different than the field at Churchill Downs just two weeks ago. Unlike the Kentucky Derby, which allows up to 20 horses to compete, the Preakness Stakes has a maximum field of 14 horses. Plus, given the quick two-week turnaround between the races, it’s become more common in recent years for Kentucky Derby-winning horses to sit out the Preakness, foregoing the chance to race for the triple crown.
