It won't make up for what he lost a year ago, but Michael Matz did find his way to the Pimlico winners' circle on Preakness Day. Matz' trainee, Chelokee, cruised to a win in Saturday's ninth race, the Barbaro. The race was changed from the Sir Barton this year to honor Barbaro, who was critically injured early in last year's Preakness.
Barbaro was trained by Matz and owned by Roy and Gretchen Jackson, who were on-hand for the trophy presentation.
Chelokee went off at odds of 1-5, so the win was hardly unexpected, but it was a fitting result.
