Exaggerator won the 141st running of the Preakness Stakes on Saturday at Pimlico. With Nyquist, the Kentucky Derby winner, in the lead for much of the race, Exaggerator found a way to come from behind down the stretch and win the very muddy second leg of the Triple Crown.

The 11-horse field with a couple of new contenders that didn’t run in the Kentucky Derby set up for an intriguing group to take on the Kentucky Derby winner. Nyquist was at 3-5 odds to win the second leg of the Triple Crown. Exaggerator was at 5-1 odds close to the race. Stradivari had the third best odds at 7-1.
The race carried a guaranteed minimum gross pay of $1.5 million for the entrants. Exaggerator will take home $900,000 as the winner. Second place receives $300,000 and third place takes home $165,000. Below is the full finishing order for this year’s Run for the Black-Eyed Susans:
