Muth Declared Out of Saturday’s Preakness (G1)
LAUREL, MD – Preakness (G1) morning line favorite Muth has been declared out of Saturday’s race after spiking a temperature after arriving at Pimlico late Tuesday night.
Hall of Fame trainer BB said the Arkansas Derby (G1) winner spiked a temperature of 103 and he had no choice but to scratch.
“We are sick about this. The horse had been doing really well,” Baffert said. “But we have to do what’s right by the horse.”
