Two weeks after Kentucky Derby entered as the favorite candidate to occupy the second place, the press appeared to hit again in the final match on Saturday, Pre -Takes Stakes, which is the Middle Leg of Horse Racing Triple Crown.
Once you give up up to five lengths, the press was still late for Josghir at the top of the house where they were pressing among the smart again and equipping them – the horses are very close to that they and the knights were rubbed together – before finally found an open ground. From there, while urging the umberto rispoli knight on it, the press ran in The Post, and you need all the post -miles from 3/16 of the course to compose an amazing victory for the Pimlico Race race in Baltimore.
This was the second PRAKNESS Press Coach, Michael W. McCarthy, who previously won in 2021 with Rombauer. With the expansion of the gap between the leader and the press, McCarthy said he had resigned.
“My initial idea was proud of the horse,” McCarthy said. “Great effort, just will come a little short.”
Except, the race was out of completion. Gusger ranked second, with Sandman III.
Aaron Willman, the co -owner of the press in the winner circle in the winner of the “Horse Hero”, said. “Our Umberto Rispoli Knight is a hero. Our coach Michael McCarthy is a hero.”
Rispoli has become the first knight of Italy to win the triple crown race.
“I hope everyone is proud of me,” said Reesboli.
The press outperformed eight other competitors, a small field that did not include the winner of Derby, after coach Bill withdrew the horse due to the short shift between races. This has been the third time in the past four years that has overcome the winner of the Bakr Derby. Death said earlier this month that the triple crown is “not something that we will not think about.”
This has been the fifth time in the past seven years that Preakness has started without a real shot in the triple crown, a trend that sparked a discussion on whether the two -week transformation between the triple crown races had become old.
The field of nine horses was still expected because the coaches – including Bob Bobt and his record eight victories in Preakness, and D. Wayne Lukas, who won seven times in Pimlico over 44 years – collected 19 wins in Preakness.
The press was still preferred after Derby, and it was opened with 8-5 possibilities on Saturday morning. By the time of the race, it became more preferred in 6-5. However, his way to victory became difficult just a quarter of miles on Saturday, as a smart one again led the first coat, followed closely Gosger and River Themes, with the sixth press. In post -race interviews, they believed that their horse was in trouble and might be running strongly, only in second place in Derby.
However, at the end, the press was at the end, on the deadline.
