It's the colt's first victory of the year. Kentucky Derby winner Golden Tempo's exit from the race left the field of 14 horses wide open to contest the middle jewel of the Triple Crown.

Napoleon Solo won the 151st Preakness Stakes, the second leg of horse racing’s Triple Crown, at Laurel Park on Saturday.

A quieter Preakness Day is underway at Laurel Park. Previously a somewhat rowdy event with throngs of fans and live music on the infield, the second race of the Triple Crown is being contested in a more subdued atmosphere this year at Laurel.

The 151st running of the Preakness Stakes took place Saturday, with Kentucky Derby winner Golden Tempo sitting out the race and ensuring that there would be no new Triple Crown winner for the first time since 2018.

The 2026 Preakness Stakes will take place today, at 7:01 p.m. ET in Laurel Park, Maryland. The 14-horse field will be without 2026 Kentucky Derby winner Golden Tempo, which means there won’t be a Triple Crown winner this year.

The 151st running of the Preakness Stakes takes place tonight at Laurel Race Track in Maryland, with 14 horses competing in the second leg of the Triple Crown.

Except for the Kentucky Derby winner going for the Triple Crown, the 151st running of the Preakness Stakes has a little bit of everything.
