Preakness 2018: Payouts, Results...And Another Triple Crown?

Every NBC analyst picked him to win. The crowd cheered him in the post parade. And even though most of us at Pimlico could see him for only a couple of furlongs, Justify capped off a dreary Preakness day with a tour de force performance that will have racing fans salivating for a second Triple Crown in four years.

The favorite went off at 2-5 and paid $2.80 to win, topping a $27.40 exacta for $2 and a $148.30 trifecta. Bravazo was a half-length back in second, with Tenfold a neck behind in third.

The win gives trainer Bob Baffert a record seventh Preakness win, while rider Mike Smith got his second.

The announced attendance for the Preakness was 134,487, down slightly from last year, and likely a higher number than actually showed up for one of the worst weather days in Preakness history.

Justify is owned by China Horse Club, Head of Plains Partners LLC, Starlight Racing, and WinStar Farm. He was bred in Kentucky by John D. Gunther and sold for $500,000 as a yearling. With his win in the Preakness, his lifetime earnings, undefeated in five races, is $2.9 million.

Rain had fallen relentlessly in Baltimore for much of this week, and Preakness day dawned misty and rainy. The track was designated "sloppy" (standing water on it) early on and remained that way throughout the day, even though rain stopped by mid-afternoon. Fog had begun to roll in and by Preakness post time, the track was shrouded in cloud, the horses visible only when directly in front of the grandstand, shortly before the winner's circle.

NBA star Sterling Brown Tasered in arrest | Police apology as video shows

NBA star Sterling Brown Tasered in arrest | Police apology as video shows An NBA player has received an apology from the Milwaukee police chief after his arrest over an alleged parking violation in January escalated into the use of a stun gun. Sterling Brown, a Milwaukee Bucks player, said the incident was "an attempt at police intimidation" and that it "shouldn't happen to anybody". Police chief Alfonso Morales said some officers had been disciplined over the incident as the force released body-camera footage which showed how an interaction over an illegally parked car rapidly escalated. It began at around 2am on 26 January in a Walgreens car park when Brown walked out of the store to find an officer standing by his car asking him for his driver's licence. The video shows Brown telling an officer not to touch him as he approaches the passenger door of his car. "Back up! Back up!" the officer yells. "For what? I ain't d...

Former Playboy centerfold falls to death with son after checking into New York hotel A woman and her 7-year-old son fell to their deaths at a Manhattan hotel Friday morning, police said. Investigators have yet to determine whether it was a murder-suicide or an accident. Police officials told the Associated Press the dead were Stephanie Adams, 46, and her son, Vincent. Adams, a former Playboy model and author, had been locked in a custody battle with her estranged husband, her former attorney, Raoul Felder, told The Washington Post on Friday. A spokesman for the New York Police Department declined to confirm the identity of the woman and the child. Felder said Adams had been his client for 20 years but had ended his services in the past couple of months. Employees at his law office have been in tears since hearing the news, he added.

Chelsea 1 Manchester United 0 RECAP as Eden Hazard wins FA Cup for Blues at Wembley The Belgian was hauled down by Phil Jones and picked himself up to convert the penalty in what could be Antonio Conte's final match in charge Eden Hazard fired Chelsea to FA Cup glory against Manchester United as Antonio Conte's expected farewell ended with a memorable triumph against old foe Jose Mourinho. The 137th FA Cup final - and first utilising a video assistant referee - was not as cagey as some had feared but was hardly a rip-roaring affair as the Blues looked to atone for last season's shock finale defeat and a tepid Premier League title defence. Mourinho came into the match looking to frustrate his former club and write his name into the record books, but Conte - subject of so much speculation regarding his future - emerged triumphant as Hazard's first-half penalty secured a 1-0 win at Wembley. Many had fancied United to win a record-equalling 1...
