Justify has won the 2018 Preakness Stakes, a fierce battle in muggy weather that primarily saw the horse battling with Good Magic all the way down the stretch to the finish line. It was incredibly close and exciting, and now Justify has a chance at a Triple Crown win with the Belmont Stakes coming up.

In the lead-up to the Preakness, all eyes were on Justify, who won the Kentucky Derby earlier in May and set in motion a bid for the Triple Crown. American Pharoah was the last horse to win a Triple Crown — winning all of the Derby, the Preakness and finally, the Belmont Stakes — doing so in 2015, the first horse to do so since Affirmed in 1978.
Justify managed to make history even before the Preakness was discussed, as the horse broke “Apollo’s Curse” by becoming the first horse to win the Derby while not having been raced as a two-year-old — last done by Apollo in 1882.
The purse for the Preakness is $1.5 million, with $900,000 of that going to the winning owners (jockeys, trainers and other staff get a slice of that too, but the exact numbers aren’t known and likely vary). Second, third, fourth and fifth place earn $300,000, $165,000, $90,000 and $45,000, respectively.
Below, you can see the full finishing order for the 143rd running of the Preakness Stakes.
