Kentucky Derby winner Mage remains on track to run in the Preakness Stakes in Baltimore next week to continue a pursuit of horse racing’s first Triple Crown since Justify in 2018, with a final decision expected Friday, May 12.

Ramiro Restrepo, part of the ownership group, said Thursday those in charge of deciding Mage’s next race wanted to see one final workout before making that determination.
