Hall of Famers Bob Baffert and D. Wayne Lukas watching horses travels in the Preakness

AP Sports Writer (AP) – Hall of Fame trainers Bob Baffert and D. Wayne Lukas saw their horses endure some difficult journeys on Saturday in the 150th run of the Preakness Stakes. Baffert’s purposeful finished fourth after striking the winner journalism on the standings. An investigation into stewards was briefly placed to look at the contact, and then removed without changes. American Promise was eighth in a field of nine after having similar battle two weeks earlier in the Kentucky Derby, led him to finish 16th. Baffert and Luke, who combined to win the second leg of the Triple Crown, mourned everyone not to get what they hoped for their colors in the Preakness. “He couldn’t run his race,” Baffert said. “I wanted to see him on the lead, maybe he would have stopped, I don’t know. He was gently chased. He ran well, but he is still green. He was not used to being behind horses and intimidated. ‘ The Jockey of American Promise, the native of Maryland, Nik Juarez, said the horse “just didn’t have it.” “When he bumped a little and came up a little, he threw his head and stopped us,” Luke said. “I didn’t like the way he answered. … I just think so attitude, we have to change it a little. ‘ Irish coach Brendan Walsh’s Gosger led 15-1, the third longest in the Preakness. He also intended to get a great dismay, if not for the remarkable run of journalism from the middle of the suit to the finish line. “I thought we were home when he opened,” Walsh said. “I’m disappointed not to win it, but I’m not disappointed with the horse. He ran a wonderful race. He is an improved horse and he will improve it. ” Jockey Luis Saez said they “had no excuses” and hope Gosger will learn from the experience. “Luis said at the end that he just got a little flawed, and he was perhaps a little too long on his own and the other horse came by and flew with him,” Walsh said. “Maybe we’ll get our turn next time.” NBC Sports’ lead to the race was, among other things, an introduction by actor Frankie Muniz, known for his child role in the program “Malcolm in the Middle.” Muniz advocated the virtues of the Preakness as the middle jewel of the Triple Crown of Horse Racing, which is for various reasons for the fifth time in seven years without a triple crown. “People don’t talk about the middle enough,” Muniz said, and drug seats on aircraft, the Middle Ages and how no one wants to reach in the middle school. “If you’re in the middle, you need to fight attention.” The attention was on the Pimlico Racecourse, which the Preakness offered for the last time before demolishing and rebuilding the structure opened in 1870. “Start and ends get all the credit, but life happens in the middle on a journey from here to there,” Muniz said. “This is where you prove what you really have made. On a day like today, on this ancient racetrack that has all dressed up one more time, there is absolutely no place to be better to be than the drug. ‘ ___
