LAUREL, Md. – Napoleon Solo and Iron Honor, the top two finishers from Saturday’s $2 million Preakness Stakes in Maryland, were both back at their New York bases Sunday afternoon and are likely to meet again in New Jersey in two months. Chad Summers, the trainer of Preakness winner Napoleon Solo, and Chad Brown, trainer of runner-up Iron Honor, both mentioned the Grade 1, $1 million Haskell at Monmouth Park on July 18 as the next major targets for their 3-year-olds. As of Sunday, it was not clear whether Napoleon Solo would run again before the Haskell, while Iron Honor is likely to train into the 1 1/8-mile race. On Sunday morning, Napoleon Solo was playful in his stall as Summers shadow-boxed with him. Summers said Napoleon Solo appeared to come out of the race in good order, other than being a little tired. He left Laurel for Belmont Park during late morning. “He’s just a little bit tired today. We’ll get him home, give him five days off – if he’ll let us – and we’ll map out a plan to the Haskell,” said Summers, who trains Napoleon Solo for New Jersey native Al Gold. “If there’s a prep, there’s a prep, if there’s not, there’s not. At this point, we’re comfortable, from a fitness standpoint, cutting back in distance to a mile and an eighth at Monmouth. I think that’s within his wheelhouse. We’ll let him tell us what he wants to do.” :: Access the most trusted data and information in horse racing! DRF Past Performances and Picks are available now. Napoleon Solo did exactly what Summers was hoping he would do in the Preakness. After stalking the pacesetting Taj Mahal from second for the opening six furlongs, jockey Paco Lopez sent Napoleon Solo after Taj Mahal midway on the turn. Napoleon Solo had the lead turning for home and couldn’t be caught, finishing 1 1/4 lengths in front of Iron Honor. “I didn’t want to turn it into a race from the quarter pole home. I wanted to try and get some separation from those closers and, if they got us, they got us, but I felt like it was our best opportunity to try and hold on,” Summers said. “Ultimately, I think he’s going to be a brilliant miler, but they can’t take the Preakness away from us.” Napoleon Solo earned a 96 Beyer Speed Figure for his Preakness win. At 2, he earned a 95 for winning the Grade 1 Champagne. Iron Honor, who finished 1 1/2 lengths behind Napoleon Solo when he was seventh and Napoleon Solo fifth in the Grade 2 Wood Memorial at Aqueduct in April, raced a bit wide under Flavien Prat in the Preakness. Still, he had dead aim on Napoleon Solo in the final eighth and couldn’t get to him. Brown had removed blinkers from Iron Honor’s equipment for the Preakness. While it helped him to relax, Iron Honor did drop the bit at one point, as Brown suspected he might. “He relaxed. He even dropped the bit at the three-eighths and Prat said, ‘I thought he was backing up,’ ” Brown said. “I warned him he’ll do that without these blinkers. I said we put them on for his debut because he’s very lazy and now he’s pulling. When I take them off, don’t be surprised if he drops the bit midway through the race. If you ask him he comes back again, but that’s just how he is and [Prat] said, ‘You were exactly right.’ ” Brown shipped Iron Honor back to Belmont because the horse did well there training after his victory in the Grade 3 Gotham. Chip Honcho and Ocelli, the third- and fourth-place finishers from the Preakness, will be considered for the Belmont Stakes on June 6 at Saratoga, their connections said. Chip Honcho, who virtually raced in tandem with Iron Honor, finished 3 1/4 lengths behind Iron Honor at the wire while finishing 2 3/4 lengths clear of Ocelli. Chip Honcho was making his first start since finishing fifth in the Louisiana Derby in March.  “I think he handled really well as we expected him to and ran on well,” trainer Steve Asmussen said. “There’s a lot to be evaluated off of it.” Asmussen on Sunday shipped Chip Honcho and Chick Lang Stakes winner Obliteration to Saratoga. Obliteration will target the Grade 1 Woody Stephens. “He ran hard yesterday. I was pleased with him this morning,” Asmussen said of Chip Honcho. “I chose to send him to Saratoga instead of Churchill to decide his next race over having considerably more faith in the trackman in New York than at Churchill.” Ocelli, third in the Kentucky Derby, finished fourth in the Preakness and remains a maiden after eight starts. Trainer Whit Beckman liked the trip his horse was getting and just felt that the speed horses had the advantage over closers like him and Incredibolt, who finished a neck back of Ocelli in fifth. “Incredibolt and us, we ran extremely credible races,” Beckman said. “Where everybody else was backing up, we were the only ones moving forward through the lane aside from the leaders who were right where they needed to be.” Ocelli vanned back to Churchill Downs and Beckman said he would watch the horse train for a few weeks before evaluating whether to run in the Belmont or another race. “Based off how he looks this morning, all possibilities are open,” Beckman said. “We’ll give him a couple of days, get him back on the track. He’s got some disposition, nothing bothers him.” Riley Mott, who made a late decision to run Incredibolt in the Preakness, said he will send the horse back to Churchill and regroup, looking at more regional derbies such as those in Indiana or Ohio. “Maybe not the worst effort in the world, but we were disappointed we couldn’t get there,” Mott said about the Preakness. “We thought it was a pretty winnable race for the horse.” If there was a silver lining for Mott regarding the Preakness it’s that his horse Albus beat both Napoleon Solo and Iron Honor in the Wood Memorial. Mott is pointing Albus to the Grade 2, $500,000 Indiana Derby at Horseshoe Indianapolis because he likes the 1 1/8-mile distance for his horse. “The Wood, people initially thought it was a slow race. Maybe it was, but it doesn’t mean those horses can’t go on and do good things,” Mott said. Trainer Todd Fincher said The Hell We Did, the seventh-place finisher in the Preakness, would head to Dallas and would look for softer company. Danny Gargan reported that Talkin, who was up close before fading to 12th, had a gash near the tendon of his right hind leg. Gargan said it didn’t appear to be serious and that he doesn’t expect it to compromise the colt’s racing future, which will likely be in races at sprint distances.  As far as the Belmont Stakes is concerned, the 1 1/4-mile race at Saratoga is expected to attract Kentucky Derby 1-2-4 finishers Golden Tempo, Renegade, and Chief Wallabee. Other Derby graduates pointing to the Belmont are Commandment, Emerging Market, and possibly Potente. Brown, who trains Emerging Market, said Blue Grass runner-up Ottinho is pointing to the Belmont and he hasn’t ruled out Peter Pan winner Growth Equity, either. :: Want to learn more about handicapping and wagering?
