Fourteen horses will line up at the starting gate at Pimlico Race Course in just over a week for the $1 million Preakness Stakes.

Of course 2010 Kentucky Derby winner Super Saver will be in the starting gate for the 2010 Preakness Stakes and the Triple Crown hopeful is likely to go off as the race favorite after his impressive performance at Churchill Downs. The Preakness Stakes is a shorter race and it will be interesting to see how he does if the weather is nicer at Pimlico than it was for the Kentucky Derby.

Ice Box, the second-place finisher in the Kentucky Derby on Saturday, will bypass the Preakness Stakes and move to the Belmont Stakes.

Bob Baffert could have two starters, if both Lookin At Lucky and Conveyance go.

Pletcher also is expected to have a second runner in the race in Aikenite, who was second in the Derby Trial but bypassed the Derby.

In addition to Aikenite, there are several newcomers to the Triple Crown trail expected for the Preakness.

Hurricane Ike, the Derby Trial winner, is possible for the race, said trainer John Sadler, who said his status would be determined after a workout that was scheduled for Tuesday morning at Churchill Downs.

Sadler said his Derby runners – Sidney’s Candy, who finished 17th, and Line of David, who was 18th – are both returning to California and will “be given a breather.”

Pleasant Prince, third in the Derby Trial, also is expected to run in the Preakness. He was entered in the Derby, but was one of two excluded from the field because of insufficient earnings in graded stakes races.

Other new shooters include Caracortado, a troubled fourth in the Santa Anita Derby; Schoolyard Dreams, most recently fourth in the Wood Memorial; and Turf Melody, who was fourth in the Illinois Derby.

A Little Warm, who was a possible Preakness runner, has been fighting a temperature since shipping last week from Florida to Delaware Park and is not currently under consideration for the race, trainer Tony Dutrow said Monday.
