"I'll Have Another" Wins Second Leg of Triple Crown
Reporter: The Associated Press
BALTIMORE (AP) - I'll Have Another overtook Bodemeister down the
stretch to win the Preakness and keep alive his hopes of winning
the Triple Crown.
In a race that was a virtual repeat of the Kentucky Derby, I'll
Have Another raced from behind Saturday to beat pace-setter
Bodemeister, who also finished second in the Derby.
I'll Have Another now has a chance to become the first Triple
Crown winner since Affirmed in 1978. The Belmont Stakes, the last
of the Triple Crown races, is June 9.
Trainer Doug O'Neill won his first Kentucky Derby two weeks ago,
and this win was his first in the Preakness.
I'll Have Another covered the 1 3/16 miles in 1:55.94.
The winner, second-favorite behind Bodemeister, paid $8.40,
$3.80 and $2.80. Bodemeister returned $3.20 and $2.80, and Creative Cause paid $3.60 to show.
