Rombauer wins Preakness Stakes
CBSN
Rombauer has won the 2021 Preakness Stakes, dashing the hopes of another Triple Crown winner. At race time, Medina Spirit, the Kentucky Derby winner, was the favorite at 2-1 odds.
Midnight Bourbon came in second and Medina Spirit had to settle for third place. Medina Spirit on Friday was cleared to race after passing three drug tests. The horse had previously tested positive for the steroid betamethasone following his Derby win, which led to Churchill Downs suspending trainer Bob Baffert and saying it would invalidate Medina Spirit's win if the results of the failed drug test were upheld. The final results of Churchill Downs' drug tests have not yet been announced. Should Medina Spirit's win be vacated, Mandaloun would become the Kentucky Derby winner. Mandaloun did not run in the Preakness Stakes.More Related News
