Many if not all of the horses behind Big Brown in the Derby are skipping the Preakness, making the second leg of the Triple Crown that much easier for the 2008 Kentucky Derby winner.
Show finisher Denis of Cork is likely for the Belmont Stakes, along with 4th place finisher Tale of Ekati.
Recapturetheglory is possible for the Preakness Stakes, but he is more likely to return to Illinois for a breather. Cowboy Cal, Smooth Air, and Visionaire will also go on vacation. Colonel John will most likely return to California, and Monba will join Todd Pletcher’s New York string. Adriano will go to Motion’s Fair Hill base and will probably return to grass racing, with the Virginia Derby at Colonial Downs a possibility.
At this point, eight new shooters are possible for the May 17th Preakness, including Lexington hero Behindatthebar, SoCal synthetic specialist El Gato Malo, Giant Moon, Harlem Rocker, Kentucky Bear, Stevil, Tres Borrachos, and Yankee Victor.
