Kentucky Derby (G1) winner Mage hit his head in his stall May 18 days before the Preakness Stakes (G1) May 20 at Pimlico Race Course.
His condition was confirmed by assistant trainer Gustavo Delgado Jr., and co-owners Brian Doxtator of CMNWLTH and Ramiro Restrepo. Doxtator said via text that it “wasn’t much, couple inches above his eye.”
Restrepo tweeted, “(Mage) received care & treatment by the State Vet and resumed training per usual with no interruptions. As per ALL Preakness starters, he was reviewed by the State Vets today and is ready to race.”
Mage is the favorite for Saturday’s second jewel of the Triple Crown.
