This Saturday's 145th Preakness Stakes will offer Hall of Fame trainer Bob Baffert a chance for a 6-6 record of KY Derby-Preakness double, when Authentic will go to the post from gate 9. Made a 9-5 favorite on the morning line, Authentic with stablemate Thousand Words (with blinkers) will offer Baffert his 7th Preakness win. Dan Illman will anchor the DRF view with insight and input on DRF.com. We will play to Dan’s strengths, and after his input on the Preakness, we will analyze the top Graded races at Belmont Park - the Gr. 1, Joe Hirsch; Gr. 1, Belmont Derby and the Gr. 3 Pilgrim. Brian
