Preakness Horse Race Details
The 1 3/16-mile Preakness unfolded the same way as the 1 1/4-mile
Derby, with the speedy Bodemeister moving to the lead under Mike Smith
and I'll Have Another hanging back in fourth in the 11-horse field. The
early fractions were slower than the Derby, but when it came time for
Bodemeister to dig in, it was I'll Have Another who found another gear
under young jockey Mario Gutierrez and reeled in the tiring pacesetter
in the shadow of the wire.Since Affirmed became the 11th Triple Crown winner, 11 horses have won the first two legs only to come up short in the 1½-mile Belmont, the longest of the races also known as the "Test of the Champion." The most recent try came in 2008, when Big Brown was pulled up around the turn for home and did not finish. Before that, Smarty Jones was run down in the final 70 yards by Birdstone in the 2004 Belmont.
