35 Years And Counting: No Triple Crown Winner This Year

At Baltimore:




Oxbow, a 15-1 shot with Hall of Fame jockey Gary Stevens (his third Preakness victory, his ninth in Triple Crown races---three for each) aboard, won the 138th Preakness Stakes at Pimlico Race Track on Saturday, with trainer D. Wayne Lukas picking up his sixth Preakness triumph.  Itsmyluckyday was second and Mylute was third with Kentucky Derby winner Orb, who was more or less boxed in throughout the race, finishing fourth.  This will be the 35th consecutive year without a Triple Crown winner.
