Lease-Lend Colt Domingo Dark Horse for Preakness

The lease-lend colt Domingo, English bred and backed by Louis B. Mayer, is labeled a dark horse in the Preakness field. The three year old son of Colombo and Oronsay, a late bloomer who just became a maiden last Monday, aims for six furlongs in Maryland's 52nd running with a $60,000 purse. Mayer’s turf chief William Finnegan says Domingo could beat any American at six furlongs when sharpened, though he remains green and has much to learn.
