On Saturday Bodhisattva will seek to complete the first Tesio-Preakness double since 1983 – a long drought for the locals who still treasure Preakness memories.
Local runner Bodhisattva recorded a five-furlong breeze this morning at Laurel. Next stop: the Preakness.
Trainer Jose Corrales may send Federico Tesio Stakes winner Bodhisattva to the Preakness after passing on Saturday’s Parx Derby.
The key to trainings, says Jose Corrales, is “trying to find your horse.” It certainly worked for his Bodhisattva and two other Pimlico stakes winner Saturday.
Bodhisattva controlled today’s Federico Tesio Stakes from the early going and posted a clear win. Could the Preakness be next?
