Journalism took a victory in the 150th career of the preakness. The horse, Jockeyed by Umberto Rispoli, entered Saturday’s race as the favorite of probability (6 to 5), but seemed serious while fighting for the position of the track in the final stretch of the race.
Incondanated between a pair or opponents just before the last exit, journalism seemed to have fallen short again. But he released, caught his balance and persecuted Gosger, leaving in the post.
Gosger, who finished second, entered with the lowest or 19-1 probabilities. Sandman was third and oriented to objectives. Journalism was 1 3/16 miles in 1: 55.37.
The victory of journalism in the preakness comes two weeks after a second place behind Sovereigtty in the Kentucky derby.
Sovereignty did not participate after its owners and coach Bill Mott decided to skip the preakness, citing the change of two weeks and aim at Belmont on June 7. That made this a fifth time in seven years that the Praksons were a preaksons, it was Rasons Rasons, it was rason-rron-rasonson, Raasonson.
But journalism opted for its claim for the horse of the 3 -year -old year by winning the US classic race of $ 2 million in the Pimic Old Race Course for the last time before it takes and rebuild. The Preakness is scheduled to be a hero in the nearby Park Laurel, between Baltimore and Washington, DC, next year before a return to the new Pimlico in 2027.
Journalism is the first horse to win the Preakness after running in the Kentucky since the War of Will Trained by Mark Casse in 2019. Only two of the 19 in the Derby participated in the Preakness: the Hall of Fame Sense of Casse, D. Wayne Lukas’.
