Preakness favorite Muth is out of the Saturday race after spiking a fever, trainer Bob Baffert said Wednesday. Muth won the Arkansas Derby and was favored on the morning line at 8-5 odds ahead of Kentucky Derby winner Mystik Dan
Happy Hump Day everyone, and I think I had the question answered that I was asking over the last month or two when I knew Tampa Bay Downs’ meet was quickly coming to a close. What would be our Wednesday track, or at the very least, what I should expect that track to be when it was time to start my Wednesday article. It appears that Horseshoe Indianapolis, the track formerly known as Indiana Grand and originally Indiana Downs, will be our Wednesday track.
Preakness favorite Muth has been ruled out of the second leg of the Triple Crown after spiking a fever.
Preakness days in recent years have featured water and plumbing miscues. A large section of the grandstand at Pimlico Race Course has been rendered unusable because it’s condemned, and much of the rest of the storied but decaying track is a relic to the sport of king’s heyday many yesteryears ago.
We stay in Bensalem for today’s QPW as we will once again look at the sixth race, and this race is eerily similar to the conditions of yesterday’s race. On Monday, we had fillies and mares who were $5000 claimers who had not won two races in six months going a mile. Today, we have another $5000 claiming race here at Parx, but today, we have non-winners of a race in the last six months going seven furlongs on the main track.
It’s Monday, which means it must be race 6 at Parx in Bensalem, PA, and once again, that is the chase as we have seven fillies and mares (three years old and up) going a mile on the main track. Post time is scheduled for 2:59 pm Eastern time.
We stay in Queens for today’s QPW as we will look at the eighth race on their card, which is the Grade 3 Soaring Softly Stakes which will go 6 furlongs on the outer turf course. Post time for the three-year-old fillies is set for 4:43 pm Eastern time.
Kentucky Derby winner Mystik Dan will continue his pursuit of the Triple Crown by competing in the Preakness Stakes, his trainer announced Saturday.
We are looking at two races for three-year-olds as we will look at the Peter Pan Stakes, which is a prep race for the Belmont Stakes, and we will take our first look this year at Monmouth Park as we will look at the Long Branch Stakes, which is their opening day feature.
