Justify, the Thoroughbred who won horse racing’s most prestigious race at the Kentucky Derby earlier this month, captured the second jewel in racing’s Triple Crown with a victory at the Preakness Stakes on Saturday. The horse, battling a soggy track at Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore, Maryland, won the 143rd Preakness Stakes as the heavy odds-on favorite. A win at the Belmont Stakes on June 9 would make Justify only the second Triple Crown winner since 1978. Justify has won every race in which he has been entered.
