BALTIMORE, May 6 (UPI) -- Kentucky Derby winner Big Brown appears to be running off other previously probable Preakness Stakes starters.
There were only seven confirmed starters by Tuesday for the 1 3/16 mile race. They are Big Brown, Behindatthebar, Giant Moon, Kentucky Bear, Stevil, Tres Borrachos and Yankee Bravo. A decision had not been made regarding Recapturethglory, who was fifth in the Kentucky Derby.
El Gato Malo, a winner of three of five career races, is now being pointed toward this Saturday's Lone Star Derby in Texas.
"The decision certainly had to do with Big Brown's performance," Terry Finley said of El Gato Malo running in Saturday's Lone Star Derby in Texas instead of the Preakness. "We are probably going to be 8-5 in Texas and 15-1 at Pimlico."
Finley said Derby Trial winner Macho Again is now possible for the Preakness, depending on the field size. "It is not out of the question," Finley said. "We'll keep track of the Preakness field."
