Behindatthebar out of Preakness
By Maryjean Wall
The Preakness Stakes has lost Behindatthebar due to a bruised foot. The son of Forest Wildcat was scratched Friday morning, leaving 12 in the race Saturday.
The announcement was made from Belmont Park, where Behindatthebar has been training.
The Lexington Stakes winner had drawn post position No. 5. With him out of that starting spot, all horses to the outside of him will move in by one stall, including 1-2 favorite Big Brown who now will start from post No. 6.
