Cough, cough, we've got 5 things you need to know about the Preakness
• BALTIMORE (AP) -- If trainer Art Sherman coughed, no one would care. When his horse coughs, that's news.
• Kentucky Derby winner California Chrome coughed after training Thursday, leaving open the possibility the horse wouldn't be in top shape for Saturday's Preakness.
• Sherman's veterinarian discovered that the colt had a small blister in his throat. Nothing a little mouthwash couldn't fix.
• "California Chrome is fine. His throat is fine. He had a little tickle," said assistant trainer Alan Sherman, Art's son. "He is not scratching from the Preakness. He is fine. I don't know why it was blown out of proportion."
• California Chrome is being treated with a glycerin throat wash.
