BOB BAFFERT


Epicenter is 6-5 favorite for Preakness without Rich Strike

Kentucky Derby runner-up Epicenter has been set as the morning line favorite for the Preakness.

Derby winner Rich Strike won’t compete in Preakness for chance at Triple Crown

Rich Strike will not run in the Preakness after his major upset to win the Kentucky Derby, keeping horse racing from having a Triple Crown winner for a fourth consecutive year. Dawson said he and trainer Eric Reed agreed to stick with the initial plan for Rich Strike and rest him for five weeks. Rich Strike, at 80-1, was the biggest long shot to win the Derby in more than a century. The plan now is to have Rich Strike ready to run in the Belmont Stakes on June 11. Adding to the impressive tale, Rich Strike had only one once before and had been claimed for $30,000 — pennies in racing and unlikely for Derby-caliber horses.
