A field of nine 3-year-olds was entered Wednesday, with Street Sense drawing the No. 8 post position for the 1 3-16th-mile race at Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore, Maryland on Saturday.

Street Sense is coming off a 2¼-length win in the Derby two weeks ago against 19 rivals.

The colt, trained by Carl Nafzger, had a final practice run Tuesday at Churchill Downs, running five furlongs in 1:00 with Derby jockey Calvin Borel.

Hard Spun, who will not have an official workout between the Derby and Preakness, jogged a quarter-mile and galloped a mile and a half at Delaware Park Tuesday morning.

Curlin had a final run Monday and left Churchill Downs Wednesday for the flight to Baltimore. Jockey Robby Albarado, who rode the colt to wins in the Rebel and Arkansas Derby and a third-place finish in the Kentucky Derby, will ride Curlin in the Preakness.

The Preakness is slated for 5 pm ET on Saturday.
