When Citation won the Kentucky Derby in 1948, just five other horses, including stablemate Coaltown, could be rounded up to face him. Two weeks later, all five had disappeared. When Citation ran in the Preakness Stakes, just three rivals - all of whom bypassed the Derby - tried, futilely, to beat him. A similar scenario appeared to be playing out this year. Until Monday, not one of the 19 horses who faced Big Brown in the Derby on May 3 was scheduled to try again this Saturday in the 133rd Preakness at Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore, Md. But Monday afternoon, Paulo Lobo, the trainer of Gayego, said he was seriously considering running Gayego in the Preakness.
