Lukas, 88, becomes the oldest trainer to win a Triple Crown race as Jaime Torres guides the 9-1 horse to a wire-to-wire victory Saturday at Pimlico
Jaime Torres, atop Seize The Grey, reacts after crossing the finish line to win the Preakness Stakes on Saturday, May 18, 2024, at Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore. Seize the Grey went wire to wire to win the Preakness Stakes on Saturday, giving 88-year-old Hall of Fame trainer D. Wayne Lukas a seventh victory in the race and ending Mystik Dan’s Triple Crown bid.
Mystik Dan finished second in the field of eight horses running in the $2 million, 1 3/16-mile race. After falling short of going back to back following his win by a nose in the Kentucky Derby, it would be a surprise if he runs in the Belmont Stakes on June 8 at Saratoga Race Course. No one in the race’s 149-year history has saddled more horses in the Preakness than Lukas with 48 since debuting in 1980. He had two this time, with Just Steel finishing fifth, but Seize the Grey — owned by thousands of investors involved in the MyRacehorse group — delivered the victory.
“I think they’re trying to get rid of me,” Lukas said. “They probably want me to retire. I don’t think that’ll happen. It never gets old at this level, and I love the competition. I love to get in here with the rest of them.”
