The sixth-place finisher in the GI Kentucky Derby will be heading to Maryland this week as trainer Riley Mott revealed that Incredibolt (Bolt d'Oro) will be entered into the GI Preakness Stakes.
“The horse is doing extremely well,” Mott said by phone from Louisville Monday afternoon. “He came out of the Derby in good shape, and we have been clocking the field of [Preakness] horses and we thought it would be the right opportunity to try the horse back.”
He also added that Incredibolt would train at Churchill Tuesday morning before making the 10-hour van ride to Laurel Park. His expected arrival is early Wednesday morning. Regular rider Jaime Torres, who won the 2024 running aboard Seize the Grey, will retain the mount for the second jewel of the Triple Crown.
