New York Central, winner of the Maryland Sprint Handicap in the spring, looks to recapture his best form in Saturday’s De Francis Dash.
New York Central bided his time before surging to victory in the G3 Maryland Sprint at Pimlico Saturday.
Elliott Walden, of WinStar Farm, said Wednesday that they – and their star – are raring to go for Saturday’s Preakness Stakes.
Justify, the undefeated Triple Crown hero, has been retired from racing with what trainer Bob Baffert called “some filling in his ankle.”
They came at Justify in waves in Saturday’s Preakness Stakes, but though there were four in the photo, he prevailed in the second leg of the Triple Crown.
Hall of Fame trainer D. Wayne Lukas thinks Justify has a “great chance” to sweep the Triple Crown – but he’s not conceding anything just yet.
Grade 3 winner Quip, second in the Arkansas Derby, is Preakness-bound, his connections announced. Plus, Good Magic remains under consideration.
