Seize the Grey wins 149th Preakness Stakes

American Pharoah snapped a 37-year Triple Crown drought in 2015 winning by winning the Kentucky Derby, Preakness Stakes, and Belmont Stakes in convincing fashion. Justify did the same thing three years later in 2018. There will not be a Triple Crown champion in 2024 as another drought has now reached six years.

Seize the Grey (8/1) held off Kentucky Derby champion Mystik Dan in the 149th edition of the Preakness Stakes on Saturday at Pimlico Race Course.

The gray thoroughbred, ridden by jockey Jaime Torres, went wire to wire giving 88-year-old Hall of Fame trainer D. Wayne Lukas his seventh victory in the Preakness. In muddy conditions, Seize the Grey thrived for the second race in a row after winning the Pat Day Mile at Churchill Downs on Derby Day. Once again, Mystik Dan came charging down the stretch but did not have enough to catch Seize the Grey.

Seize the Grey paid $21.60 to win, $8.40 to place, and $4.40 to show as the horse with the third-highest odds in the race. A $2 exact wager paid $119.40, a $2 trifecta paid $367.40, and a $1 superfecta paid $749.

The third leg of the Triple Crown will take place in two weeks at the Belmont Stakes on Saturday, June 8.
