California Chrome Wins Preakness Stakes at Pimlico
Las Vegas, NV - The eyes of the horse racing world were fixed on Pimlico in Baltimore, Maryland on Saturday, May 17 where the $1.5 million Grade 1 Preakness Stakes took place - and the favorite didn't disappoint! California Chrome, the 2-1 favorite came up with the 1 1/2 length win - his sixth straight victory and in turn set up the possibility of the first Triple Crown winner since Affirmed in 1978. Chrome was typically brilliant on the day while Ride On Curlin finished a very good second, 6 1/2 lengths ahead of 5-1 second choice Social Inclusion. Social Inclusion finished a head in front of General a Rod as three of the first four Preakness finishers also competed in the Kentucky Derby. They were followed by Ring Weekend, Pablo Del Monte, Dynamic Impact, Kid Cruz, Bayern, and Ria Antonia - the only filly in the race. The Belmont Stakes is next for California Chrome - will he make history by capturing Third Jewel? Stay tuned!
