Preakness hopeful Behindatthebar have been scratched because of a sore foot.

Behindatthebar was the No. 5 horse.

That means the field has been narrowed to 12, and heavy favorite Big Brown has one less horse to worry about.

Brown will be coming out of the No. 6 gate now with the Behindatthebar’s removal from the race. He was originally slated to come out of the No. 7 gate.
