137th Preakness Stakes: I'll Have Another Punks Bodemeister Again; Has Shot At First Triple Crown Since 1978

At Baltimore:


I'll Have Another (with Mario Gutierrez aboard) again came from behind, this time in the final few yards, to nose out (actually, neck out) Bodemeister to win the 137th edition of the Preakness Stakes on Saturday.  Creative Cause finished third.  If he wins the Belmont Stakes on June 9, I'll Have Another would be the first horse since Affirmed in 1978 to win horse racing's coveted Triple Crown.
