LAUREL, Md. (AP) \u2014 A quieter Preakness Day is underway at Laurel Park.<\/p>\n

Previously a somewhat rowdy event with throngs of fans and live music on the infield, the second race of the Triple Crown is being contested in a more subdued atmosphere this year at Laurel. That\u2019s because Pimlico in Baltimore is being rebuilt.<\/p>\n

Laurel has a rich horse racing history, but its future is in doubt \u2014 it may be converted into a training facility. Attendance for Saturday\u2019s race has been capped at 4,800.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s no possibility of a Triple Crown this year because Kentucky Derby winner Golden Tempo isn\u2019t running in the Preakness. Instead the morning-line favorite was Iron Honor at 9-2.<\/p>\n

The race appears to be wide open, with Taj Mahal (5-1), Chip Honcho (5-1), Incredibolt (5-1) and Ocelli (6-1) also among the top picks in the 14-horse field. Ocelli finished third in the Derby as a 70-1 long shot, and Incredibolt was sixth. Robusta was 14th in the Derby and is a 30-1 shot in the Preakness.<\/p>\n

Great White is a 15-1 shot after being scratched moments before the start of the Derby.<\/p>\n

Taj Mahal, with trainer Brittany Russell, is a bit of a hometown favorite. He\u2019s won all three of his races, and all were at Laurel.<\/p>\n

The Preakness is set to air on NBC and Peacock, with post time scheduled for 7:01 p.m. EDT.<\/p>\n
