Trainer D. Wayne Lukas and jockey Gary Stevens added to their own long resumes Saturday with a win on Oxbow that denied Orb any chance of snagging racing's first Triple Crown since Affirmed in 1978.
Miguel Cabrera never had a night like this last season when he won baseball's first Triple Crown in 45 years.
The colt had trained sensationally ahead of the Preakness, fanning hopes that a horse was finally going to end the Triple Crown drought that dates back to Affirmed in 1978.
Gary Stevens came out of retirement for the chance to get back in the winner's circle in a Triple Crown race.
It was the sixth Preakness victory for Hall of Fame trainer D. Wayne Lukas and 15th Triple Crown victory, most in horse racing history.
With his first career victory in the Preakness, the 62-year-old would keep alive his bid to win the Triple Crown - a feat that hasn't been accomplished since Affirmed in 1978.
