preakness

I’ll Have Another won the 137th running of the Preakness Stakes at Pimilico Race Track in Baltimore on Saturday to become the first horse since 2008 to win the first two legs of the Triple Crown.

Affirmed was the last horse to sweep the Kentucky Derby, The Preakness, and The Belmont in 1978.  With the 2nd race of the Triple Crown run on Saturday, Shackleford wins The Preakness by less than 3/4 of a length and spoils the Triple Crown attempt by Derby winner Animal Kingdom.
