Recapturetheglory has a fever, Preakness shot at risk

Illinois Derby winner Recapturetheglory spiked a fever this morning, jeopardizing his chances to run in the Preakness, and putting the colt's plan to ship to Baltimore tonight on hold.

“This morning his temperature was over 102," assistant trainer Lara Van Deren said today from Churchill Downs. "He’s definitely not shipping tonight. We pulled blood on him and gave him some anti-inflammatories. The blood work will tell us everything and we should get that back this afternoon.”
