The 2021 Preakness Stakes is set to start at 6:50 p.m. ET on Saturday, with Medina Spirit seeking a shot at the Triple Crown.
This year's bid for the elusive honor doesn't come without controversy, though.
The Kentucky Derby winner might not hold onto that distinction. After besting a 20-horse field at Churchill Downs, the Bob Baffert-trained colt tested positive for Betamethasone, an anti-inflammatory drug.
Baffert maintains the test was a result of a skin ointment used to treat a skin condition for the horse. However, the results of the split sample test will determine if the colt remains the 2021 Kentucky Derby winner.
