Whichever race he goes in, he'll be coming off a 7 week layoff. The preakness is nowhere near as grueling as the Derby, but I imagine that would be the reason why Matz would take the lesser route.
I completely think that Chelokee has a chance to be competitive in the Preakeness. Despite Scat Daddy and Stormello runnning poorly in the Kentucky Derby, I still don't discount Chelokee's gutsy effort on Florida Derby day.
