Forever Young is on a plane Tuesday for Japan. No Japanese horse has ever won the Preakness.

According to an article on Bloodhorse, the Japanese horses are heading back to Japan on May 7

Thank you very much Zico, I appreciate it. What a shame. It would be interesting to see both he and/or TO Password in this years rendition of the Preakness. Who the heck will be running in two weeks? I guess that is the biggest question to ask.

The UAE Derby winner can't win the roses?
Yet another angle that will go out the window one of these days.

Forever Young deserves huge kudos for jetting around the world.
It definitely cannot boost a horse's chances of winning a major race.

He lost out to a masterful ride by Brian Hernandez, and a terrific horse
in Sierra Leone who, without question, had an inferior trip in comparison.

All three are nice horses.
As a footnote, I liked Just A Touch - he never ran a yard.
