Barbaro confirmed for Preakness Stakes

Kentucky Derby winner Barbaro has been confirmed to run in the 131st Preakness Stakes at Pimlico Race Course. Trainer Michael Matz notified the Maryland Jockey Club that the three-year-old colt will run in the second jewel of racing's Triple Crown on Saturday, May 20.
Also moving on from the Run for the Roses to the Preakness is Santa Anita Derby winner Brother Derek, who was fourth in the Derby.

Jazil, who dead-heated with Brother Derek at Churchill Downs, is possible for the Preakness Stakes.
Horses who are expected to run in the Preakness but missed the Kentucky Derby are Gotham Stakes winner Like Now, Withers Stakes champ Bernardini and Simon Pure.
