144th Preakness Stakes

At Baltimore:

War of Will, with Tyler Gaffalione aboard, won Saturday's 144th running of the Preakness Stakes, with Everfast finishing second and Owendale third.

Like the jockey, War of Will's trainer Mark E. Casse won his first Triple Crown race.

Yes, War of Will was the horse that was fouled late in the recent Kentucky Derby, which resulted in Maximum Security, who finished first, being disqualified.

An interesting sidemark, Bodexpress, who threw his jockey John Valazquez at the start of the race, ran clear around the track.

Neither the jockeyless horse or jockey was injured.
