Preakness Stakes - Pimlico (Saturday)

The 139th running of the Preakness Stakes takes centre stage this weekend, as all eyes turn to Pimlico for the second leg of the American Triple crown. The question on everyone's mind will be whether CALIFORNIA CHROME can repeat his demanding showing at the Kentucky Derby just a fortnight ago. The colt won by a convincing distance on the rest of the field, and the second horse who ran on in that race is omitted from the Preakness here. Justifiably so, California Chrome enters as the odds on favourite, and should provide for an entertaining race. Read below for betting and additional articles on this race.

Lets hope so! The way he won the first leg certainly makes most think he can...

Was coughing this morning on track, but they say it's not the first time, still a worry

From Chrome's Facebook page earlier today:-

"A lot of misinformation has been reported in the last few hours so Sherman Racing would like to put an end to any speculation.

California Chrome is fine. He coughed a few times today which is not unusual for him but prompted a lot of speculation by some media. He has coughed a few times a day since before his Derby win. Given his recent travel and changes in the weather the team wanted to be diligent. The vet scoped him and drew blood before the Kentucky Derby. The blood work came back clean and perfect. Chrome does have a small blister in his throat and per the vet only coughs because it most likely itches him.

This has not affected his training nor will it affect his training moving forward. He is eating normally and acting his usual self as well. His status in The Preakness Stakes remains the same in post position 3 and ready to run!"

Still a worry Zsus lol

not going to be punting and horse with dodgy lungs
