When it comes to horse racing, Horses Wild has got you covered.
Undefeated and heavy favorite horse, Barbaro, was pulled out of the race after suffering injury. His absence allowed Bernardini to take the 132nd Preakness Stakes at Pimlico on Saturday.
After his Preakness win, the colt is not definitely set for the Belmont Stakes in three weeks, but trainer Tom Albertrani expects a decision in a few days.
Albertrani, has another Belmont starter in Deputy Glitters, who finished eighth in the Kentucky Derby and skipped the Preakness.
Bernardini was the surprise winner of the Preakness, beating Sweetnorthernsaint by 5 1/4 lengths, the race overshadowed by the serious injury at the start to Barbaro. The Derby winner broke three bones in his right rear leg and was in surgery Sunday fighting for his life.
Bernardini, with three wins in four starts, was back at Belmont Park, and Albertrani will discuss the colt’s plans with Dubai’s Sheik Mohammed, who operates Darley Stud.
