Moving in early: Always Dreaming arrives at Pimlico for Preakness Stakes

Three days after winning the Kentucky Derby, Always Dreaming arrived at Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore to being preparing for the Preakness Stakes.

Always Dreaming was flown from Louisville, Ky., on Tuesday morning and arrived at Pimlico shortly after 11 a.m. ET. Always Dreaming will be housed in Stall 40, the famous corner spot which has previously been filled by Secretariat and Seattle Slew and other Triple Crown winners.

The Preakness will be run May 20 and Always Dreaming is scheduled to begin becoming familiar with the turf on Wednesday morning.

"He's just going to jog with the pony one time around tomorrow at 6:30," assistant trainer Ginny DePasquale told reporters.

Always Dreaming, who won the Kentucky Derby by 2 3/4 lengths, was said to be in good spirits on Tuesday.

Head trainer Todd Pletcher is scheduled to arrive in Baltimore on Wednesday afternoon.

"I just spoke to Todd and told him the horse looks very bright-eyed and very happy," DePasquale said. "He looks like his normal self that we see every day. It's pretty special to see him looking that well. I'm happy and I know Todd is."
