(1:05) LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- The second jewel of horse racing's Triple Crown could be missing 150th Kentucky Derby winner Mystik Dan and other co-stars, quashing hopes for a rematch after the thrilling three-way photo finish in the milestone race. Trainer Kenny McPeek and the horse's ownership wouldn't commit to whether the colt would race in the 149th Preakness on May 18 in Baltimore, which requires a quick two-week turnaround. Mystik Dan will travel to Saratoga, New York, before they decide whether to enter him in the 1 3/16-mile Preakness. "We're not committed to the Preakness, not yet," McPeek said Sunday morning outside his barn on Churchill Downs' back side....

Sauber's Zhou, who races in Shanghai this week in China's first grand prix since 2019, has failed to score in the season's first four races but local supporters remain positive.
