Preakness 2016: Post Time, Race Schedule and Latest Prize Money Info
The 141st running of the Preakness Stakes at Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore on Saturday is set to be a wet one, with steady rain and temperatures that will struggle to reach the 60's.
Nyquist will have an opportunity in the inclement weather to win the second leg of the Triple Crown and continue on the path to be the second horse in as many years to win horse racing's biggest honor.
Here's a look at the day's schedule:
| Saturday, May 21 | 6:45 p.m. ET | NBC | NBC Sports Live Extra |
Here is the how the field of 11 horses stacks up:
| 1 | Cherry Wine | Corey Lanerie | Dale Romans | 20/1 |
| 2 | Uncle Lino | Fernando Perez | Gary Sherlock | 20/1 |
| 3 | Nyquist | Mario Gutierrez | Doug O'Neill | 3/5 |
| 4 | Awesome Speed | Jevian Toledo | Alan Goldberg | 30/1 |
| 5 | Exaggerator | Kent Desormeaux | Keith Desormeaux | 3/1 |
| 6 | Lani | Yutaka Take | Mikio Matsunaga | 30/1 |
| 7 | Collected | Javier Castellano | Bob Baffert | 10/1 |
| 8 | Laoban | Florent Geroux | Eric Guillot | 30/1 |
| 9 | Abiding Star | J.D. Acosta | Ned Allard | 30/1 |
| 10 | Fellowship | Jose Lezcano | Mark Casse | 30/1 |
| 11 | Stradivari | John Velazquez | Todd Pletcher | 8/1 |
Those horses, their jockeys, trainers and owners will be competing for a $1.5 million purse, according to TripleCrown.com.
This is what the payouts will look like after the race:
| 1 | 60 | $900,000 |
| 2 | 20 | $300,000 |
| 3 | 11 | $165,000 |
| 4 | 6 | $90,000 |
| 5 | 3 | $45,000 |
Nyquist is going for a perfect 9-0 record at Pimlico, and he's been the overwhelming favorite since the Kentucky Derby ended.
This is a horse that can win a race from any position on the track, and he's proved that over his first eight races.
But the weather could have an impact on the expected order, as Exaggerator—the race's second-favorite horse—has shown that he can thrive in muddy conditions.
If jockey Kent Desormeaux can mount a late charge and if Nyquist can't open up a big enough lead down the stretch, the Kentucky Derby winner could be caught in the rain.
