I think he's more likely to go in the Preakness....
But, in horse racing, with lowered expectations come lowered results...though that's espeically true in the claiming game.
Chelokee will be a clear-cut 4th choice in the betting in the Preakness, Matz is a fan of going into a race with lots of time between starts, and as much as Matz would love to win the 1st running of the Barbaro Stakes with Prado up, one year after what happened last year....we all know how hard to resist it is running in a Classic, when you're the 4th choice in the betting, and the clear-cut favorite of the "new shooters."
