News Preakness Stakes News | Just Steel Unlikely To Breeze Before Race May 10, 2024 Just Steel (Carlos J. Calo/Eclipse Sportswire/CSM) News Preakness Stakes News | Just Steel Unlikely To Breeze Before Race May 10, 2024 By: Press Release email Share: share on facebook share on twitter share on linkedin email this article Hall of Fame trainer D. Wayne Lukas said that he doesn’t think he will breeze Just Steel between his 17th-place finish in the Kentucky Derby (G1) and his scheduled next start in the Preakness Stakes (G1) May 18 at Pimlico Race Course.Lukas, 88, has saddled six winners from 46 Preakness starters since 1980 and said he makes his decision on an individual basis on whether to breeze horses between races. Just Steel chased the pace early in the Derby and tired in the stretch. Lukas’ other Preakness horse, Seize the Grey, won the Pat Day Mile (G2). “I’ve done it both ways. In my Preakness winners I’ve tried different things,” Lukas said. “You have to read the horses and both of these horses came back very, very well. In fact, Just Steel is actually seems sharper to me this week than he did the prior week to the Derby. So what we’ll do is just monitor him every day. It’s a day-to-day decision when training horses. You read, and see what you think they need and don’t need. So I probably will let him extend himself a couple of days, but I don’t think I’ll work him. I think he had a hard six furlongs in that race. And I think I won’t work him, but he’ll go to the track every day and he is sharp. So we’ll play it day by day.” SMASH the *Thumbs Up* ~ HIT *Subscribe* ~ RING the *Notification* bellThe Racing Dudes are the #1 online source for free and premium horse racing win picks, and now, their expert coverage includes sports betting picks.
