Mystik Dan, the recent Kentucky Derby winner, is set to compete in the upcoming Preakness, maintaining the possibility of a Triple Crown victory. Trainer Kenny McPeek confirmed the decision after careful consideration, despite initial concerns about the short two-week turnaround. McPeek expressed confidence in Mystik Dan's condition, stating that 'all systems go' and highlighting the horse's excellent form.
The absence of the Derby winner from the Preakness in previous years had raised questions about the race's status, but McPeek's decision to enter Mystik Dan underscores the significance of the event. McPeek, who secured a Preakness victory in 2020 with Swiss Skydiver, is aiming for another triumph with Mystik Dan.
