Wayne Lucas, it's a seventh Preakness Stakes win and a 15th overall win in Triple Crown races. The win marked his first at Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore since 2013, when he won with Oxbow.

    Legendary trainer Bob Baffert has been persona non grata at the Kentucky Derby for the last couple of years because of a suspension following his 2021 Derby winner Medina Spirit failing a post-race drug test. That three-year ban is up after this season, so he's likely to be back at Churchill Downs next year, but the suspension stemming from that incident at both the Preakness and the Belmont are up, and he has one horse, Imagination, in the Preakness today. He did train morning line favorite Muth, who was scratched earler in the week.
