India, May 16 -- The 151st edition of the Preakness Stakes takes place on Saturday, May 16, marking the second leg of horse racing's Triple Crown series. For the first time in decades, the race will be held at Laurel Park instead of Pimlico Race Course, which is currently undergoing a major renovation project.

This year's race has drawn added attention after Kentucky Derby winner Golden Tempo opted out of the Preakness, ending hopes of a Triple Crown sweep in 2026.

According to reports from The Score and The New York Times, only four horses from the Derby field, Ocelli, Robusta, Incredibolt and Great White, will compete in Saturday's race.

Coverage for the Preakness begins at 1 pm ET on Peacock and NBCSN, before shifting to NBC at 4 pm...
