BALTIMORE (AP) — Mage’s team at the Preakness has settled into a stable routine at the Preakness after the horse’s Kentucky Derby victory capped off a tumultuous stretch at Churchill Downs.

The colt’s preparations may as well be happening a world away with co-owner Ramiro Restrepo and trainer Gustavo Delgado overseeing calm low-key jogging each morning.
