I), will ship down to Pimlico next Monday from Delaware Park and will work on Tuesday under jockey Gabriel Saez to determine whether the colt will run in the Preakness Stakes (gr. I).


“It’s only an hour trip down and an hour trip back, so we’ll send him down Monday afternoon and work him Tuesday morning and then see where we stand,” trainer Larry Jones said. “He’s not a definite at this point, but he did heal up very fast and he tracked today at Delaware Park. So, we’ll see how he handles the track and what Gabriel says and then make up our mind.”


i knew i had seen that they said a grabbed quarter. i know just after the race, jones was extremely upset and angry-i thought at the time he was being overly dramatic about blood on the track, and the quarter. so, now it's a mild grab....quickly healed.
