“Our unique plan for Wealthy Strike used to be contingent at the KY Derby, will have to we now not run within the Derby we might level towards the Preakness, will have to we run within the Derby, matter to the race consequence & the situation of our horse, we might give him extra restoration time & leisure and run within the Belmont, or any other race and keep heading in the right direction to run with 5 – 6 weeks leisure between races,” the commentary stated.
Dawson stated it used to be “very, very tempting” to race within the Preakness after their Derby win, including it “could be an excellent honor.”
“On the other hand, after a lot dialogue & attention with my instructor, Eric Reed & a couple of others, we’re going to stick with our plan of what is highest for Ritchie is what is highest for our team, and move on working within the Preakness, and level towards the Belmont in roughly 5 weeks,” the commentary stated.
The 147th Preakness Stakes might be run on Would possibly 21 at Pimlico Race Route in Baltimore, Maryland.
If Dawson’s technique is going in step with plan, Wealthy Strike will go back to the race monitor June 11 for the 154th working of the Belmont Stakes at Belmont Park in Elmont, New York.
