2013 Preakness field [Pictures]
Jockey: Joel Rosario
Trainer: Claude “Shug” McGaughey
Owners: Phipps Stable and Stuart Janney III
Last race: Won Kentucky Derby by 2 1/2 lengths on May 4.
Dam: Lady Liberty; Sire: Malibu Moon
Earnings: $2,335,850
Of note: Has won his last five races and will likely be at least an even-money favorite in Saturday’s Preakness.
Comment: Best horse, worst post position. Will need Rosario to prove again he’s one of the better riders in the race -- and world. If he gets his lane, he’ll win. (Matthew Stockman / Getty Images)

Jockey: Kevin Krigger
Trainer: Doug O’Neill
Owners: W.C. Racing, Dave Kenney and RAP Racing
Last race: Finished 17th in the Derby.
Dam: Golden Works; Sire: Into Mischief
Earnings: $1.25 million
Of note: In seven career races, has four firsts and a second.
Comment: Ran in the Kentucky Derby, but not really. Figures to burst out of gate again. At this point, whether he sustains it is anyone’s guess. (Kim Hairston / Baltimore Sun)
Jockey: Rosie Napravnik
Trainer: Tom Amoss
Owners: Goldmark Farm and Whisper Hill Farm
Last race: Finished fifth in the Derby.
Dam: Stage Stop; Sire: Midnight Lute
Earnings: $477,695
Of note: Has two wins, three second-place finishes and a third in 10 career starts.
Comment: Found a chance to win Kentucky Derby down stretch but did not take it. If anyone can persuade him to run this time, in Maryland, it’s Napravnik. (Rob Carr / Getty Images)
Jockey: Gary Stevens
Trainer: D. Wayne Lukas
Owner: Calumet Farm
Last race: Finished sixth in the Derby.
Dam: Tizamazing; Sire: Awesome Again
Earnings: $383,500
Of note: Has two wins, a second and a third in 10 career starts.
Comment: Was out early in Derby and stayed in it late. Might have taken too much out of him, but Stevens might be crafty enough to make him a factor. (Andy Lyons / Getty Images)
