WOW! What a race. The Preakness Stakes finished with historic context. One of the few Preakness' run in the slop in Maryland. As Gary Stevens said moments after the race, "It would take a super horse to beat what may bee a super horse." That is the truth. American Pharoah was much the best today in the Preakness. He was suited well for the race, having won the Rebel Stakes in similar conditions. He went for the lead from the start and never relinquished it. He finished in a pitiful time of 1:58 but considering the sludge, he did very well pulling away in the stretch. The question now becomes whether now, he can debunk his third curse in a row, a curse 37 years in the making. Can American Pharoah win the Belmont, we shall see.
