For the past few years, trainers have been reluctant to run their horses back 2 weeks later in the Second Jewel of the Triple Crown, the Preakness Stakes. Almost as important, trainers have been reluctant to send their fresh horses into the Preakness to face the Derby winner.
Always Dreaming, who looked great winning the Run for the Roses this past Saturday, could face not only a bunch of fresh faces but also a few opponents from the May 6 Kentucky Derby at the Preakness on May 20.
Always Dreaming, although visually impressive, hasn?t scared anybody away from the Second Jewel of the Triple Crown. One horse, two-year-old champ Classic Empire, is raring to go after suffering one of the most brutal trips of the race this past Saturday. Classic Empire finished fourth even though his eye was swollen on Sunday due to getting cracked up by McCraken (get it?).
