Flying Paster May Skip Preakness If Pimlico Track Muddy
Flying Paster, fifth in the Derby, may not run in the Preakness if Pimlico's surface is muddy. Trainer Gordon Campbell says owner Ben Ridder will avoid a mud race, though the colt worked five eighths in 1:01.25 on sloppy Pimlico turf. Ridder and Campbell suspect Derby performance linked to drying Churchill Downs track.
