With heavy overnight thunderstorms leaving the Pimlico main track a sloppy mess (more of this is unfortunately forecasted for the remainder of the week), the dark bay was out for only light exercise. The same went for stablemate Bravazo (Awesome Again), winner of the GII Risen Star S. and sixth-place finisher in the GI Kentucky Derby, who headed out about 15 minutes later. The Lukas pair also both schooled in the paddock.

Wednesday=s Preakness Report cont. from p1

7:15 a.m. - A Sunrise Tour group of about 20, including several young children, stopped in their tracks to check out champion Good Magic (Curlin) as he began walking under-tack. The GI Kentucky Derby runner-up glided over the wet going quite nicely for the second straight day under the watchful eye of Chad Brown=s traveling assistant Baldo Hernandez. Good Magic didn=t get as warm as he did during his first trip to the track Tuesday and appears to have bounced back from his solid effort in Louisville in top form. Good Magic galloped about 1 1/4 miles beneath regular exercise rider Walter Malasquez, making two trips past the Pimlico grandstand.

3:03 p.m. - Diamond King (Quality Road), a last out winner of Laurel=s Federico Tesio S., was the first of the Wednesday afternoon Preakness arrivals at Old Hilltop.

3:49 p.m. - With a very large crowd looking on, including WinStar Farm=s Elliott Walden, Justify bounced off the van with good energy on Pimlico=s backstretch as Hall of Fame trainer Bob Baffert eyed him closely. Quip and Lone Sailor followed a few minutes later. How did Justify settle into his new digs at the stakes barn? AHe=s wearing me out,@ Baffert said with a laugh to a large group of press after walking the strapping chestnut around the shedrow.

5:17 p.m. - It=s lucky number seven for Justify once again. Justify was installed as the 1-2 morning-line favorite for the second leg of the Triple Crown after drawing the same post he did in the Derby at the Stronach Group chalet in the Pimlico infield.

NICK ZITO JOINS WHOA Hall of Fame trainer Nick Zito, who was recently in attendance during a meeting that included members of the Coalition of Horse Racing Integrity (CHRI) and Kentucky horsemen interested in learning about the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA), offered his support to the Water Hay Oats Alliance (WHOA): "Like many of us in the racing industry, I am late to sign up with WHOA. I feel at this time, however, with what I have seen over 40 years as a trainer, that today's medication rules don't add up, and they do not work. So many states are different in their policies, and the penalties are harsh. In some cases, the penalties are harsh when they shouldn't be, when honest trainers are penalized because of poor testing and rules that are not uniform. However, with WHOA's position, the help of USADA, and anyone else who feels that this sport and this game is bigger than them, we can find a level playing field. If you are a Hall of Fame trainer and you are caught taking an edge, if you are a high percent winning trainer and you are caught taking an edge, you should be treated accordingly. Going to the recent USADA meeting was very encouraging. Travis Tygart made perfect sense; you can't both promote and police, and you can't catch a cheater if you don't test for what they are cheating with.@ The Water Hay Oats Alliance (WHOA) is a grassroots movement in the racing industry that supports the passage of federal legislation to prohibit the use of performance-enhancing drugs in the sport.

GENE DOPING TEST PRESENTED AT ARC GRAND OLD By Chris McGrath DUKE OF YORK Seoul, SOUTH KOREA--The physical well-being of the horse, and the integrity of the horseman, dominated the agenda on the second day of the 37th Asian Racing Conference in Seoul on Wednesday. The spectre of gene doping-which has been viewed as "the elephant in the room" by some veterinary and bloodstock professionals-was candidly addressed in a session that had worrying potential to be identified, in years to come, as the most significant of the week. Horsemen were urged to awaken to the existential threat to the Thoroughbred, and certainly to pedigrees, that could arise from manipulation of genetic therapy or engineering to enhance performance, as opposed to treat disease. In mice, for instance, running capacity has been stimulated in experiments to a staggering extent: from 800 metres to six kilometres.

In August, TDN International Editor Kelsey Riley will ride in the Mongol Derby, a 1000 kilometre (620 mile), 10 day ride across Outer Mongolia. The Mongol Derby is the world’s longest multi-horse race, and while navigating the unmarked course by GPS Kelsey will have to conquer such challenges as half-broke horses, pursuit by wild dogs, the physical effects of 14-hour days in the saddle and some less-than-glamorous culinary experiences. Kelsey is taking on this challenge because she is crazy, but also to raise money for the TRF’s Second Chances Program at Blackburn in Lexington. Kelsey, and the horses and humans at Blackburn, need your help to accomplish this mission. ...And catch up on Kelsey’s To donate to Kelsey’s Mongol Derby for Blackburn, Mongol Derby blogs in the Click Here Go Big Or Go Home | Getting The Trip GoFundMe.com/KelseysMongolDerby Why The Derby? | The Guru
