Swiss Skydiver outpaces Kentucky Derby winner and race favourite Authentic in a dramatic finish to win the Preakness Stakes in Baltimore
She was the first filly to run in the Preakness since Ria Antonia finished last in 2014.
"I had an opportunity," Albarado said. "I took advantage of the rail. Johnny stayed off the fence there, made a conscious decision to move at that time. Give or take now. If I make that move now or I wait and get smothered." Jesus' Team, a 40-1 longshot trained by Jose D'Angelo and ridden by Jevian Toledo, was a distant third.
Covid-19 had already turned the Triple Crown, which normally starts with the Kentucky Derby on the first Saturday in May, upside down with the Belmont Stakes opening the action on June 20 and the Kentucky Derby held in September.
