A total of eight probable three-year-old colts could challenge Mage in the 1,900-meter Preakness Stakes, scheduled for next Saturday the 20th of this month at the Pimlico sand track in Baltimore.

Among the possible entries in the race that will be held as the second of the American Triple Crown is Perform, a descendant of Good Magic, sire of Mage, in Jane Says, by Tale of Ekati, winner of the Federico Tesio Stakes at Laurel Park, whose owners they canceled the extra sum of 150,000 dollars to be able to write it down, because it is not nominated for the equestrian trilogy tests.

Perform is the winner of two races in seven starts and runs under the training of Claude R. McGaughey III, a trainer who thinks well of him and believes that he will give a lot to do against the best colts of the moment.

Another of the nominees is First Mission, a descendant of Street Sense in Elude, by Medaglia D’Oro, with a record of two wins in three starts, winner of the Lexinton Stakes at Keeneland, after two performances at Fair Ground, under the training of Brad H. Cox.

Mage up

The brand new winner of the Carrera de las Rosas, with Javier Castellano as jockey and Gustavo Delgado as trainer, has kept the excellent conditions intact and is looking for the second gem on a fast track racetrack.
