Mixed Emotions at the 2023 Preakness Stakes

The 2023 Preakness Stakes was a disappointing race with only seven horses running, and only one willing to go for the early lead. The winners of the Kentucky Derby and Preakness, Mage and National Treasure, have zero stakes wins between them other than their victories in the first two legs of the Triple Crown. The article compares their lack of stakes wins to the all-time greats Affirmed and Spectacular Bid, who had a combined 23 stakes wins through their respective victories in the Preakness. The author laments the current state of horse racing and the Triple Crown.

Bob Baffert's National Treasure wins Preakness, but tragedy strikes with Havnameltdown's euthanasia.

National Treasure won the Preakness, giving trainer Bob Baffert his record-breaking eighth Preakness title. However, the day was marred by the on-track euthanizing of Havnameltdown, a horse trained by Baffert, and the criticism of Baffert's history of doping violations and suspensions. Animal rights groups called for Baffert to be barred from the track. Despite the tragedy, National Treasure's victory provided a moment of triumph for Baffert and his team.

Tragedy at Preakness as Baffert-trained horse euthanized and jockey injured.

Disarm and National Treasure are joint third choices at 12-1, while Perform will be supplemented to the Preakness after his win last month in the Federico Tesio Stakes. Oddschecker still listed some horses that have been taken out of consideration for the Preakness and did not show Coffeewithchris, who was pointed to the Preakness on Friday by his trainer John Salzman Jr.

KHRC Implements Mandatory 14-Day Vet's List for Horses.

Forte, who was scratched from the Kentucky Derby due to unsoundness, will not be eligible to run in the Preakness Stakes as he has been placed on a mandatory 14-day veterinary list by the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission. Trainer Todd Pletcher had previously indicated that Forte would work later this week and, if all went well, would head to the Preakness. However, Forte must first satisfy the requirements for removal from the list, including a satisfactory workout performed for a state regulatory veterinarian and a negative blood sample result.

Horse fatalities continue to plague Kentucky Derby and Preakness.

Seven horses have died following injuries at Churchill Downs since April 27, including Derby entrant Wild On Ice. The recent spate of incidents comes four years after more than 30 horses died at Santa Anita racetrack in California. The question for now is how the stunning occurrence of fatal injuries at the cathedral of horse racing affects the sport during its height of visibility with the Preakness and Belmont Stakes following over the next month. Churchill Downs said in a statement Saturday night that it is working with the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission and Horseracing Integrity and Safety Authority to investigate each death.
