Governor Charlie missed this year’s Kentucky Derby due to a foot bruise.  Trained by Hall of Famer Bob Baffert, Governor Charlie won the Sunland Derby. 

Baffert has won 5 Preakness Stakes races to date.  The mile and one-eighth distance for Saturday’s Preakness should present little problem for Governor Charlie.

The problem here is that Sunland has never proven a significant stepping stone for thoroughbreds and it is true that Governor Charlie has yet to face this type of stiff competition.  Inexperience will be a major disadvantage here.
