It is understandable that the connections of Mine That Bird were not looking beyond the Derby and Woolley on Sunday morning was hesitant to commit the surprising winner to the second leg of the Triple Crown.
"It wasn't something that was on our radar, but we will decide in a day or two," Woolley told reporters. "We're still trying to grasp what happened yesterday. First time in the Derby and to win it at 50-1, is a humbling experience. The Preakness tends to be a little more speed-biased and I don't know if that is going to fit our horse. There is no obligation. What's best for the horse has to come first."
