Devil Diver Heads 1945 Preakness Card Contenders
Devil Diver of Greentree Stables holds top weight at 132 pounds for the Oxie handicap at Pimlico on Preakness day. Uncertainty remains if the horse will race at Pimlico or in New York’s Belmont Park suburban handicap. Hoop Jr. leads Preakness prospects along with Pimlico Oaks and nursery stakes on a day likely to approach a historic purse total. Dockstader, a Greentree Derby winner, is coughing and viewed as only a fair chance for the Preakness mile and three sixteenths.
