Even though Mystik Dan won the Kentucky Derby, Muth is expected to be the Preakness Stakes favorite. A look at who would be a good longshot to follow.
Now that it’s confirmed that Kentucky Derby winner Mystik Dan is going to run in Saturday’s Preakness Stakes at Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore, the talk of a possible Triple Crown can start. Actually, it’s more of a whisper than talk. Mystik Dan barely held on by a nose while winning the Kentucky Derby. And, he had the perfect trip. Now he'll be facing the horse that beat him in the Arkansas Derby. And, he’s running on only two weeks rest.
He was reinstated for the next year. If Medina Spirit had also won the Preakness — he finished third — would the NYRA have banned him? We’ll never know. Baffert did serve a 90-day suspension in 2022 as a result of the Medina Spirit positive, which was honored by every state. He returned to racing on July 3 of that year and can race anywhere in the world … except tracks owned by Churchill Downs Inc. Some might argue it’s been in the process of being torn down for the last decade.
