Trainer Cherie DeVaux said the May 16 race at Laurel Park is possible, with the field set on May 11 after the Derby winner returned to Keeneland.
DeVaux said Golden Tempo must stay healthy and energetic over the next several days; Derby runner-up Renegade will skip the Preakness and target the June 6 Belmont.
No female trainer has won the Preakness, and some question Laurel as host during Pimlico's $400 million renovation. The Triple Crown has not been completed since Justify in 2018.
Will a new track and modern trends end Golden Tempo's Triple Crown bid before it even begins?
Is the Triple Crown's grueling schedule forcing trainers to choose between a horse's health and a historic dream?
