Despite some concern after winning the Kentucky Derby, trainer Kenny McPeek says 'all systems go' for the colt to run in Preakness Stakes next Saturday.
Mystik Dan, winner of the Kentucky Derby a week ago, will be entered in the 149th running of the Preakness Stakes at Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore a week from Saturday. Kenny McPeek, the colt's trainer, made the announcement after a week of speculation that the horse might be skipping the second leg of horse racing’s Triple Crown.
McPeek also had the horse scoped, where a tube is inserted in the horse’s nostril and then pushed down to see if there are any respiratory issues, and that apparently came back good. “All systems go,” McPeek told the Maryland Jockey Club. “He’ll ship out morning.” Horse Racing Nation reported that McPeek already had all the plans in place to move the horse to Baltimore. “I’ve already kind of arranged the logistics of it all,” he told the independent racing website.
