Tom Pedulla presents five takeaways from the 145th Preakness Stakes at Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore as well as Breeders’ Cup “Win and In” Challenge Series races that were run at Keeneland Race Course on Saturday:
Otter Bend Stables’ consistent 3-year-old Gufo turned in another strong performance to win the $250,000, Grade 1 Belmont Derby Invitational Stakes Oct. 3 at Belmont Park, his first top-level victory.
A Triple Crown season like no other closed with a dramatic twist when Swiss Skydiver emerged as the sixth filly to win the Preakness Stakes in the race’s rich 145-year history on Saturday at Pimlico Race Course.
Simply Ravishing, a daylight winner of the Sept. 3 P. G. Johnson Stakes, took her game to another level with equal skill in the $350,000 Grade 1 Darley Alcibiades Stakes Oct. 2 at Keeneland.
