He's on the Pimlico site as "pending/probable", also on vegas odds.2 starts at GP, didn't race as a 2 yr old, 1 maiden win, 1 Allow Op Cl 2nd. Don't think he's been mentioned anywhere!
From Pimlico site:
With just two lifetime starts and neither beyond seven furlongs, Grand Bili enters the Preakness as its most inexperienced contender. Though he lacks seasoning, he comes from a successful family.
Grand Bili’s sire, City Zip, won eight stakes, six of them graded, including the 2000 Hopeful (G1) at Saratoga Race Course. Grand Bili’s mare Woodsmoke, a multiple stakes winner in Canada, is out of Langfuhr, Canada’s champion sprinter of 1996.
Unraced at 2, Grand Bili made his career bow with a three-quarter length victory in a 5 ½-furlong maiden special weight Feb. 1 at Gulfstream Park. Though part of the initial field for the seven-furlong Fasig-Tipton Swale (G2), originally carded for Feb. 28, he was not re-entered when the race was postponed by torrential rains and brought back a week later.
Instead, Grand Bili came back April 9 to duel for the lead before settling for second behind Chipit, 8 ½ lengths clear of third, in a seven-furlong optional claiming allowance.
