McCarthy hoping for “clean break” for Journalism

Journalism, beaten favorite in the Kentucky Derby, is giving trainer Michael McCarthy positive signs he’ll run big — if he avoids trouble.

Former Major League journeyman Jim Gosger knows who he’s rooting for in the Preakness: the horse that bears his name.

With heavy rain in the area, Delaware Park canceled its Wednesday opener and instead will kick off its season Saturday, May 17.

Trainer Michael McCarthy recent flew from his California base to Churchill Downs to see Preakness entrant Journalism and said he is “very pleased.”
