Kentucky Derby winner Mystik Dan slid into the favorite slot when Muth, a winner by six lengths over third-place Mystik Dan in the Arkansas Derby, spiked a fever on his second day at Pimlico and bowed out of the second leg of the Triple Crown.
Mystik Dan’s path to winning the Kentucky Derby opened up about midway through the final turn after he cleared out pacesetter Track Phantom and rode the rail to the slightest of victories. His path to capturing Saturday’s 149th Preakness Stakes
After a cancellation yesterday at Horseshoe Indy, we had to Queens for Aqueduct’s sixth race at maidens will go on the main track. Post time is set for 3:39 pm ET.
The field for the 149th Preakness Stakes has been set, and Muth was installed as the 8/5 morning line favorite for the middle leg of the 2024 Triple Crown. A field of nine was entered to go a mile and three-sixteenths and will go as 13th of 14 races on this monster card.
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.
