Notes: Seize the Grey owns victories at three different tracks (Saratoga, Oaklawn Park, Churchill Downs) and will look to add a fourth at Pimlico. … Lukas, 88, has won the Preakness six times, starting with Codex in 1980 and most recently with Oxbow in 2013. … Behrens is the founder and CEO of MyRacehorse, which offers low-dollar ownership shares of horses. Seize the Grey has more than 2,000 co-owners through the partnership.
What they’re saying: “I think if he runs the same race he just ran in the Pat Day Mile, he’ll be a factor in (the Preakness),” Lukas said. “He has good tactical speed. He can dictate pretty much where he wants to be in the race. I see no reason why he won’t finish the mile and three-sixteenths. … I think having a very positive race going into the Preakness is going to help him very much.”
