Rebel (G2) winner Confidence Game, 10th in the Kentucky Derby (G1) May 6, will not make the May 20 Preakness Stakes (G1), trainer Keith Desormeaux said Saturday morning.
“He trained all right this morning,” Desormeaux said of the Candy Ride colt, who is owned by Don't Tell My Wife Stables and Ocean Reef Racing. “He's just not 100 percent. He's got something aggravating him in the right front shoulder area.
“We're going to send him to Dr. (Larry) Bramlage (at Rood & Riddle Equine Hospital) and let him do full diagnostics and let him advise us on how to proceed. He's good, but he's not Preakness perfect.”
