A brief shower this morning at Pimlico but not enough to affect either track surface, which remain fast and firm.

Cloudy so far with temperatures supposed to reach the low to mid-70's.

The inside was good on the main track Friday, which leaned towards speed. Closers and off-the-pace types did well on the turf, which is thick and on the long side.

Here are the scratches for Saturday's Preakness program, which begins at 10:30 a.m.
