A Triple Crown season significantly affected by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic concludes Saturday at Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore with the 145th Preakness Stakes.

Improbable, a colt trainer Bob Baffert previously called “Baby Justify,” a reference to his 2018 Triple Crown winner, is now living up to that title in 2020.

Now that Firenze Fire has locked up a fourth straight trip to the Breeders’ Cup, trainer Kelly Breen and owner Ron Lombardi may be in need of an engineer.

It was just around noon that jockey Tomas Mejia learned he’d picked up a mount on what looked like a hopeless longshot in Saturday’s 13th race at Monmouth Park.

A little more than six hours later he’d etched his name in the track’s record book.

The Vosburgh Stakes lost its star power when Volatile suffered a career-ending injury earlier this week, but without him the six-furlong stakes added a few horses and became a much more competitive race.

Even with just six starters, it should be an interesting betting race as some sharp sprinters battle for a free spot in the Breeders’ Cup Sprint through the Breeders’ Cup Challenge Win and You’re In program.
