Journalism wins the 150th running of the Preakness Stakes

Journalism, the heavy favorite, won the 150th Preakness Stakes at Pimlico Race Course, marking his trainer Michael McCarthy’s second victory in the race. Coming from behind, Journalism finished ahead of Gosger and Sandman, completing the 1 3/16 miles in 1:55.37. Notably absent was Kentucky Derby winner Sovereignty, who is expected to compete in the Belmont Stakes, setting the stage for a potential rematch; this Preakness also marked the last held at the current Pimlico before its planned reconstruction.
