In one of the most wide-open races in decades, War of Will grabbed the victory.
CONNECTTWEETLINKEDINCOMMENTEMAILMOREWar of Will won the Preakness Stakes on Saturday at Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore in one of the most wide-open races in decades.
The controversial Derby had a major effect on the Preakness. Maximum Security finished first in the Derby but was disqualified for interference, making Country House the de facto winner. Maximun Security's jockey, Luis Saez, was later suspended for 15 race days after stewards determined the horse drifted out of the running lane and impeded other horses.
Good or bad, the Kentucky Derby debacle stirred up more national attention on horse racing. But the Preakness was mostly about the intrigue factor. In the end, War of Will was the beneficiary of a race lacking star power.
