all in Triple Crown

The Preakness Stakes has long been a proving ground for the toughest and most talented 3-year-olds each year. Run two weeks after the Kentucky Derby, colts have traditionally dominated this middle jewel of the Triple Crown, but its 150-year history has seen a few fillies rise to the challenge and etch their names into history.

Welcome to 2026 Triple Crown Prospect Profiles – updated after the first jewel of the Triple Crown from the previous title of Kentucky Derby Prospect Profiles – where we’ll take a look each week at a recent winner on the Triple Crown trail.

With the first jewel of the Triple Crown in the books, the field for the 151st Preakness Stakes is shaping up to be quite large May 16 despite the lack of interest from contenders who raced in the May 2 Kentucky Derby Presented by Woodford Reserve at Churchill Downs.

Golden Tempo’s last-to-first victory at 23.12-1 odds in the $5 million Kentucky Derby Presented by Woodford Reserve provided horse racing fans with a historically significant grand finale to cap an unforgettable slate of stakes races over the last week at Churchill Downs.

Surrounded by dozens of reporters and photographers in the media scrum at Churchill Downs that follows a winning trainer the morning after the Kentucky Derby Presented by Woodford Reserve, Cherie DeVaux paused briefly to take in the May 3 scene.
