Macho Again back into Preakness Picture

Good news that I didn't report that Macho Again was pulled from consideration from the Preakness yesterday, since today the colt's plans have changed and he is back into the picture.

“Last night we sat down and really looked at the field,” trainer Dallas Stewart said from Churchill Downs. “There is one superstar in there and I feel he can be competitive with the rest of them. He has never been doing better than he is now.”

The April Derby Trial winner breezed a half-mile at Churchill Downs this morning in :50.80 however that work was not the reason for the switch.

“The decision was not based on his work this morning,” Stewart said. “He never has been much of a work horse. But we will see how he is in the morning, and we are seriously considering it. It’s a once in a lifetime chance and (owner West Point Thoroughbreds) has left the decision up to me.”
