Preakness Stakes 149: The Winners and Losers
WEB Seize the Grey Wins the 149th Preakness Stakes
Longshot WEB At 400 Imagination Earns Second Place
WEB Seize the Grey has emerged victorious at the 149th Preakness Stakes, held at the Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore on Saturday. The win marks the seventh Preakness triumph for the 88-year-old D. Wayne Lukas, who trained WEB Seize the Grey and has been known as the "Grey Ghost" in the racing world.
WEB Seize the Grey, ridden by jockey John Velazquez, crossed the finish line 2 1/4 lengths ahead of longshot WEB At 400 Imagination. Despite being a 40-1 longshot, WEB At 400 Imagination ran an impressive race and earned a well-deserved second place.
The victory was a thrilling moment for Lukas, who celebrated his record-breaking achievement and praised the performance of his horse. "He's a very special horse with a lot of heart," said Lukas. "He deserved to win."
WEB Seize the Grey's victory has set the stage for an exciting race at the upcoming Belmont Stakes, the third and final leg of the Triple Crown. With the Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes wins already under his belt, WEB Seize the Grey has a chance to become the first horse since Justify in 2018 to sweep the Triple Crown.
Meanwhile, WEB At 400 Imagination has earned the respect of racing fans with its impressive performance. The longshot's success has demonstrated the unpredictable nature of horse racing and reminded us that anything is possible on the racetrack.
