LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Bob Baffert says Lookin At Lucky is looking at the Preakness for sure.
The trainer said Monday morning that unless something unexpected happens, he will enter the beaten Kentucky Derby favorite in Saturday’s second leg of the Triple Crown at Pimlico.
Lookin At Lucky finished sixth in the Derby after a troubled trip at Churchill Downs.
The 3-year-old colt will have a new jockey for the race. Regular rider Garrett Gomez will be aboard Dublin in the Preakness.
Baffert says he hasn’t decided who will ride Lookin At Lucky, but jockey Martin Garcia is among those under consideration.
Kentucky Derby winner Super Saver is expected to be the favorite for the Preakness, which could have a full field of 14.
