Journalism wins 150th Preakness Stakes in thrilling race

The 150th Preakness Stakes at Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore was a heart-stopping event that saw Journalism emerge as the winner in a thrilling finish. The race, which featured a two-horse showdown between Journalism and Gosger, kept fans on the edge of their seats until the very end.

Journalism, the favorite with even odds, narrowly edged out Gosger, a 15-1 long shot, by a nose in the final stretch. Sandman, with 6-1 odds, finished third, followed by Goal Oriented at 8-1.

Despite finishing second at the Kentucky Derby to Sovereignty, Journalism and jockey Umberto Rispoli were determined to claim victory at the Preakness. The race saw Clever Again, the 9-2 favorite, lead for most of the way before finishing last.

As the horses turned into the final stretch, Gosger started to pull away from the competition, setting the stage for a thrilling finish. Rispoli maneuvered Journalism into position, and a bump between Journalism and Goal Oriented seemed to provide the opening needed for Journalism to make a final push towards victory.

In a dramatic sprint to the finish line, Journalism found an extra gear and managed to outpace Gosger by a nose, crossing the finish line in 1:55.47. The victory was a sweet redemption for Journalism, who had narrowly missed out on a win at the Kentucky Derby.

The Middle Jewel of the Triple Crown proved to be a nail-biter until the very end, with Journalism delivering a memorable performance for fans and securing a well-deserved victory.
