Canadian Horse of the Year Up With the Birds takes on highweights Hamp and Hey Leroy May 17 in the $400,000 Longines Dixie Stakes at Pimlico Race Course, while looking to rebound from a disappointing season debut last time out.

Kentucky Derby winner California Chrome was heard coughing after a 1.5-mile gallop at Pimlico early Thursday, and trainer Art Sherman told ESPN's Jeannine Edwards that his biggest concern is the horse doesn't catch a cold.
