Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted May 7, 2019 Journalists Share Posted May 7, 2019 ‘TDN Rising Star‘ and GI Kentucky Derby winner Country House (Lookin At Lucky) has been declared a non-runner in the GI Preakness S. May 18 as he appears on the verge of getting sick. Daily Racing Form was first to break the story. Trainer Bill Mott told DRF that while the colt’s appetite remains good and while he does not have any fever, “he’s coughing” and “he’s acting like he’s going to get sick.” DRF also reported that Code of Honor (Noble Mission {GB}), placed second in the Run for the Roses, would skip the second leg of the Triple Crown and with the GI Belmont S. having already been ruled out, that the GIII Dwyer S. would be next for the diminutive chestnut colt. Fellow ‘Rising Star‘ Improbable (City Zip), who crossed the line fifth, but was placed fourth in the Derby, was confirmed a Preakness starter Monday, with Mike Smith to ride. Maximum Security (New Year’s Day), first home, but placed 17th in the Derby, has already been ruled out of the Preakness by owner Gary West, who is attempting to appeal the Derby disqualification. This story will be updated.
