Recapturetheglory (red Cap) will not contest the Preakness Stakes due to fever


RECAPTURETHEGLORY, fifth in the Kentucky Derby, has been ruled out of the Preakness Stakes due to a fever.

Co-owner Ronnie Lamarque, who won the Preakness 20 years ago with Risen Star, confirmed the news.

“The racehorse comes first. He had a slight temperature, plus a slight pulse in his left front toe. We are sorry we are not coming to Baltimore, but I know it is going to be a great race. We felt we had a live chance to turn the tables on Big Brown.?

After the son of Cherokee Run's defection, it now seems likely that none of the 19 runners who lost to Big Brown in the Derby will now contest the Preakness.
  The Dallas Stewart-trainedDerby Trial winner Macho Again has been added to the field.

“Whe know Big Brown is there, but we feel we can compete with those other horses,?said Stewart.

“Llooking at the race, I think we have an excellent shot of beating a lot of horses in the race. It's a good field, but we feel we fit.

“The horse has been doing well since the race and you've got a marquee race. Everybody wants to run in these three Triple Crown races. One horse is not going to scare everybody. If Big Brown does not perform,you have a chance to win the Preakness.?
