SOCIAL INCLUSION – Rontos Racing Stable Corp.’s Social Inclusion jogged from the gap at the top of the stretch to the three-quarter pole before galloping a mile under exercise rider Domingo Navarro Wednesday morning at Pimlico. Social Inclusion is scheduled to make only his fourth lifetime race in Saturday’s Preakness Stakes after showing enormous potential while winning his debut by 7 ½ lengths on Feb. 22, defeating Honor Code by 10 lengths in a March 12 allowance while breaking the Gulfstream track-record for 1 1/16 miles, and finishing third after setting the pace in the Wood Memorial (G1). “His first two races he won easy, and for me, he ran a wonderful race at Aqueduct,” trainer Manny Azpurua said. Had Social Inclusion finished second in the Wood, he would have won an automatic spot in the Kentucky Derby field, and his connections admit they probably would have run him at Churchill Downs on May 3. However, because of his late start, the Preakness Stakes, not the Kentucky Derby, had been the main target for Social Inclusion before he made his first start. “I got my horse in my barn on the 15th of December. I didn’t want to push him. I wanted to give him enough time. He was a big horse. Now he’s bigger and stronger,” Azpurua said. “When you’re patient with a horse, they give back.”
