Preview: One of four Kentucky Derby entrants racing in the Preakness. This Majestic Light colt is coming off a last-place finish in the Kentucky Derby after finishing fourth in the Wood Memorial. Has been in the money in six of nine lifetime starts. Is a grandson of former Preakness winner Spectacular Bid. One advantage for Basic Trainee is that he is running from the six hole where 13 Preakness winners have started, the most of any post positions.
