The rest of the Preakness field is yet to be determined. The Preakness field is traditionally much smaller than the Derby. A year ago, only eight horses entered the starting gate at Pimlico.

Sovereignty ran away with the 151st Kentucky Derby on Saturday at a muddy Churchill Downs and it only took a few minutes of celebrating before the obvious question was asked of the thoroughbred's trainers: Will the horse run the Preakness Stakes next?

While Kentucky Derby (G1) winner Sovereignty’s status for the 150th Preakness Stakes (G1) May 17 at Pimlico Race Course was still undecided Monday morning, his team continued to marvel how well Godolphin’s standout 3-year-old colt has rebounded out of his stretch-long battle with runner-up Journalism last Saturday at Churchill Downs.
