Nyquist will run out of third position at the Preakness Stakes on Saturday, opening as a 3-5 favorite in the second leg of the 2016 Triple Crown.
Once again, Exaggerator has the second-best odds to win, as he will start just one position away from the horse he was unable to catch down the stretch of the Kentucky Derby.
Potential rain Saturday could turn the race into a quagmire, but many observers are confident both Nyquist and Exaggerator are equipped to handle the slop.
