DERBY NOTES (4/26): Smooth Air back to normal, track
In a developing situation that could result in his defection from the Derby starting grid, Mount Joy Stables' Smooth Air spiked a slight fever Friday that prevented his going to the track for a scheduled gallop. Trainer Bennie Stutts, who at 70 is looking to run in his first Kentucky Derby, said the Florida Derby runner-up will not go to the track Saturday having been treated with antibiotics for what he suspects is a low grade infection. Stutts added that if he could not get Smooth Air back to the track by Monday, he would likely be forced to not enter the son of Smooth Jazz in the 134th running of the Kentucky Derby. A media advisory is scheduled for 8am at Churchill Downs.
