Medina Spirit remained the favorite Saturday to win the Preakness Stakes in the second leg of the Triple Crown.
Medina Spirit is being offered at 9/5 by TwinSpires, ahead of Concert Tour (5/2), the other entry from embattled trainer Bob Baffert.
Two weeks ago, Medina Spirit won the Kentucky Derby but tested positive for the steroid betamethasone in postrace testing. He will start Saturday from the No. 3 post position under John Velazquez for the 1 3/16-mile race.
Concert Tour will start on the outside in a field of 10 3-year-olds with jockey Mike Smith. After winning his first three races, the son of Street Sense finished third in the Grade 1 Arkansas Derby at Oaklawn last time out.
