"After a week of uncertainty, horse racing fans got the good news that Kentucky Derby winner Mystik Dan will run in the Preakness Stakes this Saturday.

We understand breeding has changed along with other aspects of the sport, where running a top thoroughbred just two weeks between races doesn’t make as much sense as it used to. Nonetheless, having the Derby winner in Baltimore makes for a better storyline for all parties concerned.

Unfortunately, on Wednesday morning the morning-line odds favorite, Muth, was scratched from the race after his trainer Bob Baffert reported he had a fever.

Initially, we had nine horses getting ready to break out of the gate this Saturday but, at the moment, that number has dropped to eight. Let’s break down the field."

“Fever” is that what they call it now when Baffert horses fail a drug test ?

Trying to give us another triple crown contender - won’t happen. Give me Catching Freedom to win this one - small wager on Seize The Grey to place too.

Hopefully, this is not going to lead to death.

Here is my angle at this time. I like the other Baffert in this race. I think he could get to the front and put them to sleep. Now, the weather is a factor. This animal has not competed on an off track. The breeding on this animal is over the top. His momma has produced 4 stakes winners out of 7 foals and Into Mischief is an excellent sire. Going to wait and see what mother nature has in store before I post a pick. Good luck gang!!!!!
