Horse Racing: 145th Preakness Stakes
USATSI

The Triple Crown is underway. The Kentucky Derby took place earlier this month and the usual schedule is back on track for the first time since 2019. The COVID-19 pandemic severely altered the Triple Crown schedule in 2020. The Preakness Stakes actually served as the third leg of the Triple Crown in 2020 rather than its usual second leg.

Now the Preakness Stakes is back to serving as the second leg of the Triple Crown.

With the horsing racing schedule back on track, the Kentucky Derby began the chase for the Triple Crown on May 1 with Medina Spirit coming away victorious. However, the horse tested positive for the steroid betamethasone and trainer Bob Baffert has been suspended. The position draw for the Preakness Stakes is scheduled to take place on Tuesday, so it's currently unclear if Medina Spirit will be racing at the Preakness Stakes.
