And so the speculation begins. Who will compete in the Preakness? Who will reappear in the Belmont? Who may not emerge until the summer and who will we never hear from again?
At the moment, Super Saver is headed to Pimlico where he will compete in the Preakness on May 15th. The same can be said for Paddy O'Prado who finished a respectable third in the Derby.
As for all the rest, well we can only wait and see. Awesome Act will not be going anywhere near a race track. He is headed to Lexington's Rood & Riddle Equine Hospital to determine why he came up lame after the race.
Other possible starters like Mission Impazible, Jackson Bend, Lookin at Lucky and Conveyance are all still being evaluated by their respective trainers. Even the impressive Ice Box who got everyone's attention with his closing moves,is being scrutinized very carefully.
According to Bloodhorse.com, trainer Nick Zito wants to wait until the Belmont to run the colt but the owners are said to be leaning toward the Preakness. Some newcomers may well include the Dale Romans-trained First Dude as well as another Todd Pletcher-trained colt, Aikenite.
It seems as if "Mums" the word until early Sunday or Monday, when things should become more apparent. Until then, stay tuned.
