"I am talking to other riders and looking at other options now, and we have to decide by tomorrow morning (when entries will be taken)," said Azpurua, who at age 85 became the oldest trainer to saddle a Preakness winner when he tightened the girth on Social Inclusion, a Kentucky-bred son of Pioneer of the Nile.
Damn, I thought Art Sherman saddled the winner. Great journalism, courtesy of Paulick Report article.
