LOUISVILLE, Ky.—The competition isn’t exactly lining up to take on Kentucky Derby winner Justify in the Preakness. Baffert guided his fifth Derby winner out of the barn and walked him in a tight circle for fans who eagerly snapped photos on their phones. “There’s no reason to say no.”Baffert will be seeking his record-tying seventh Preakness victory. Derby runner-up Good Magic, last year’s 2-year-old champion and Breeders’ Cup Juvenile winner, appears unlikely to run in the Preakness. Among the fresh horses under consideration are Tampa Bay Derby winner Quip and Federico Tesio winner Diamond King.
