Rain, rain likely not going away for Preakness at Pimlico (The Associated Press)

A steady rain soaked Pimlico Race Course on Saturday morning, and the forecast for the rest of the way was anything but sunny on Preakness Day. The National Weather Service predicted a 100 percent of rain throughout the day, along with wind at gusts of up to 20 mph. Nyquist trainer Doug O’Neill seemed unfazed by the possibility of saddling up his horse in the rain, with the forecast including a 70 percent chance of showers at 6 p.m.
