Mystik Dan (McPeek/B. Hernandez)
Catching Freedom (Cox/Prat)
Muth (Baffert/J. Hernandez)
Imagination (Baffert/Dettori)
Tuscan Gold (Brown/Gaffalione)
Uncle Heavy (Reid/Sanchez)
Seize the Grey (Lukas/J. Torres)
Just Steel (Lukas/Rosario)
Mugatu (Engler/Bravo)

Preakness field. Go figure. Went from internet claim of ‘worst Preakness ever’ to arguably more interesting than Derby.

Trying to figure the pace out here, Steve. First glance, it looks like Muth and Imagination set a moderate pace up front. But I think it could make sense for Lukas to have Seize the Grey up front and either try to wire them or possibly press the pace for the Baffert duo and set up Just Steel a bit. Which, if that happens, that will of course have the potential to also set up horses like Mystik Dan and Tuscan Gold and so on.

Changes the race a bit.

Imagine if this happened two weeks ago. It would have been wild if Zedan won his suit to have Muth run in the Derby only for him to get a fever the night before and have to be scratched.
