Medina Spirit, who won the Kentucky Derby two weeks ago at Churchill Downs, finished third after entering the race as the favorite at 5-2 and a week of doping allegations. The final leg of the Triple Crown will be June 5 at Belmont Park in Elmont, New York. This means another year will pass without a Triple Crown winner.
The last horse to win the Triple Crown was Justify in 2018. Only 13 horses have completed the three-race sweep. Bob Baffert, the trainer of Medina Spirit, had a 5-1 shot at winning the Preakness as he's the trainer of both Medina Spirit (5-2) and Concert Tour (7-2), who were two of the favorites heading into the race. Midnight Bourbon was also a race favorite at 5-2 by Saturday.
