Fresh off his victory at the 148th Kentucky Derby, Rich Strike will not race at the upcoming Preakness Stakes — the second leg of horse racing's triple crown.
"Our original plan for Rich Strike was contingent on the KY Derby, should we not run in the Derby we would point toward the Preakness, should we run in the Derby, subject to the race outcome & the condition of our horse, we would give him more recovery time & rest and run in the Belmont, or another race and stay on course to run with 5 or 6 weeks rest between races," the statement said.
Jockey Sonny Leon seems as surprised as anyone by Rich Strike's long-shot Kentucky Derby winDawson said it was"very, very tempting" to race in the Preakness after their Derby win, adding it"would be a great honor.
