So far one horse has come back to run off the dead turf rail on Preakness Day. Copinaway ran Saturday in $75K stakes at 1 1/2 miles on the turf at GP and ran 7th at 7/1. Seemed to be the speed and really did not flash any - never looked in contention while a 50/1 shot wired the field. So far those returning from that day that ran on the turf rail are 1-0-0-0. There are two entered this weekend:
My Celeste is entered to run on Friday, June 3, 2016, at Churchill Downs in Race 6. She was in the Lady Shipman race ($100K 5f turfer), but finished last at 49/1. Returns under allowance conditions in a 5f turf sprint. She is 5/1 on the morning line.
Ousby is entered on Saturday, June 4, 2016 at Pimlico in Race 6. He finished 7th by 6.5 lengths at 4/1 after dueling from the inside early in a $100K 1 1/8 mile turf stakes. He is listed at 3/1.
