              Preakness entrant Secret Oath grazes near the stables after a workout ahead of the Preakness Horse Race at Pimlico Race Course, Wednesday, May 18, 2022, in Baltimore. Trainer D. Wayne Lukas believes Secret Oath could be one of the best fillies he has ever had. That belief and her winning the Kentucky Oaks in impressive fashion the day before the Derby inspired him to enter Secret Oath in the Preakness Stakes, where she could give the 86-year-old Hall of Fame trainer a record-tying seventh victory in the second jewel of the Triple Crown.(AP Photo/Julio Cortez)
