After Rick Strike's  shock upset victory in the Kentucky Derby on Saturday, the 80-1 long shot coming out of nowhere to cross the finish line first, his team is considering whether to run him in the Preakness on May 21, the second race in the Triple Crown.

Veteran trainer Erick Reed said Sunday morning, “As long as he’s OK and after a week I know that it’s the right thing to do, we’ll do it. I have to do what I’ve done from day one with this horse, and that’s manage him and take care of him.”
