Medina Spirit, Concert Tour Jog at Pimlico for Saturday’s Preakness

At 0h04, on May 12, 2021 By NEWSROOM

Zedan Racing Stables’ Medina Spirit and Gary and Mary West’s Concert Tour each jogged a mile clockwise at Pimlico Race Course Tuesday morning to start off their first full day at the site of Saturday’s Preakness Stakes (G1).

Jimmy Barnes, the longtime assistant to trainer Hall of Fame trainer Bob Baffert, supervised the succinct get-acquainted-with-the-racetrack tour. Medina Spirit went out first at 7:40 a.m. and Concert Tour followed about 20 minutes later.

“Everyone jogged today,” Barnes said. “We had a long travel day yesterday, but they all handled the trip very well. We’re up here early, it’s just Tuesday so I gave them a light jog day today. We’ll gallop everything tomorrow.”
