Preakness preview: Macho Again

Macho Again helped save his three-year-old season with a surprise win in the Derby Trial about a week before the Kentucky Derby. In that race, he outran the favorite, Kodiak Kowboy, and paid $14.20.

Macho Again, a Florida-bred, has three wins in eight career starts but he disappointed with a seventh-place finish in the Lane's End Stakes. But that was a synthetic surface and Macho Again appears to be one of those horses who doesn't run well on synthetic. Of course at Pimlico, he'll be on dirt.

The gray colt has been training at Churchill Downs and is scheduled to fly into BWI Marshall tomorrow night along with Kentucky Derby winner and Preakness favorite Big Brown. Julien Leparoux is the jockey. We have a video of Macho Again's trainer Dallas Stewart talking about his horse's Preakness preparations followed by a workout at Churchill.
