Mystik Dan Faces New Challenges at Preakness Stakes

With a short turnaround and fresh competitors, the Kentucky Derby winner's stamina will be tested.

Mystik Dan, the Kentucky Derby winner, is the favorite for the Preakness Stakes after Muth's scratch.
Trainer Ken McPeek has reservations about running Mystik Dan on a two-week rest due to past performance issues.
Bob Baffert's Imagination, coming off a six-week rest, is seen as a strong contender with early speed.
Catching Freedom and Tuscan Gold are other notable horses to watch in the race.
The Preakness Stakes will be broadcast on NBC and streamed on Peacock and NBCSports.com.
