After getting bumped by another horse and nearly knocked off course, Journalism recovered and roared down the stretch to win the 150th Preakness Stakes on Saturday at Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore.

Watch as Larry Collmus, the voice of the Preakness Stakes, calls Journalism’s hard-fought win race at Pimlico Race Course. An emotional Michael McCarthy says the Preakness Stakes shows the testament that Journalism possesses and “couldn’t be prouder” of his win in the 150th running of the event while thinking of his family.

And so that’s what Journalism did. Because of what happened next, and the way Journalism covered the final 50 yards of a race for the ages, this Preakness Stakes — the final one at the old Pimlico, before it is bulldozed as part of a long-needed renovation set to begin next month — will be remembered as one of the most remarkable of any of the 150 editions.

Journalism, the heavy favorite, used a dramatic late charge to win the 150th Preakness Stakes on Saturday night.

Journalism has won the 150th running of the Preakness Stakes. The heavy favorite made good on lofty expectations two weeks after finishing second to Sovereignty in the Kentucky Derby.

Improbable as the victory once was, Journalism entered the race with even odds to win. A Journalism-Gosger exacta returned $33.80 for a $2 bet, while a trifecta with Journalism-Gosger-Sandman turned $1 into $73.50.

The Los Angeles Times has earned 25 awards in the California News Publishers Association’s California Journalism Awards competition.

Journalism is the horse to beat in the Preakness Stakes after leading off the Triple Crown with a second-place finish to Sovereignty in the Kentucky Derby.
