Untapable Will Not Run in Preakness

[Sightseek]

Assmussen said the plan is to keep her around for a long time and a race in two weeks is not in her best interest toward that goal. They are not opposed to running her against the colts in the future; however.

That's disappointing. He ran Rachel Alexandra in the Preakness off of 15 days rest & it sure didn't ruin the rest of her 3yo year.

That probably was more of the owners decision.

Not only that but said owner didn't have much time left to live.

Would be awesome to see her in the annual beauty pageant called The Alabama Stakes

You are right.
I just meant that he has an example from his own barn where running a filly back in the Preakness wasn't ruinous. I wish he'd follow that example here.

Don't think they realized how close those are. I imagine she'll run in the Acorn, since the purse is enormous, then the CCA Oaks at Saratoga.
