Journalism, the Kentucky Derby runner-up and the race favorite, wins the 2025 Preakness Stakes, the last at Pimlico as we know it.

Journalism battles past the competition down the final stretch and manages to barely catch Gosger before the finish line to win the Preakness Stakes.

Kentucky Derby winner Sovereignty won't race in the Preakness, meaning there will be no Triple Crown winner for the seventh consecutive year. Sovereignty is the fourth Derby winner in those past seven years to opt out of the opportunity. (Journalism is the 8-5 morning line favorite .)
