Injury Minor--Jumron Will Run in Preakness

Jumron, who was originally going to be held out of the Preakness on May 20, will run in the second leg of the Triple Crown after all.

The initial thinking of trainer Gary Lewis and owner Charles Dunn was to pass on a trip to Baltimore after Jumron suffered a slightly injured foot while finishing fourth in the Kentucky Derby behind Thunder Gulch, Tejano Run and Timber Country.

However, the Sharpo colt will be on a plane to Pimlico next week, so the first four finishers in the Derby will meet again. “We had the veterinarian look (at the foot) Monday, and he said it just wasn’t that bad,” Dunn told the Daily Racing Form. “It was only a thumbnail-size area, and it’s looking better every day. He’s been walking well and he’ll start galloping in the next few days.”
