At Baltimore:
On a muddy track and in foggy conditions at Pimlico Race Course, Kentucky Derby winner Justify, with jockey Mike Smith aboard, battled tooth and nail with Good Magic (who ultimately finished fourth) for much of the race until the home stretch, then held off hard-charging Bravazo by a half-length to win Saturday's 143rd running of the Preakness Stakes.
Tenfold finished third.
It was a record-tying seventh Preakness victory for Justify's trainer Bob Baffert.
Justify will try on June 9 to become the 13th horse to win the Triple Crown (the first since American Pharoah in 2015) by winning the Belmont States at Elmont, New York.
