California Chrome wins Preakness; one victory from Triple Crown
Saturday at Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore, Md., California Chrome became the 13th horse to win both the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness since Affirmed ascended racing’s highest platform.
California Chrome had a perfect trip at Pimlico, getting out of the gate quickly and settling into third for the first half. He made his move easily around the final turn to beat a field of 10, winning the second race of the Triple Crown by 1 1/2 lengths.
