Preakness Stakes 2023 Results

In a thrilling race, Epicome emerged victorious in the 2023 Preakness Stakes, the second leg of the Triple Crown. The three-year-old colt, ridden by jockey Joel Rosario, surged past rivals in the final stretch to claim the win. The Preakness Stakes, held at Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore, Maryland, is one of the most prestigious races in horse racing. Epicome's victory marks a significant milestone in the young colt's career and sets the stage for a potential Triple Crown run.

Epicome's triumph was particularly impressive considering the strong field he faced. The seven-horse race included several contenders, including Secret Oath, Simplification, and Early Voting. However, Epicome's determination and speed proved to be a winning combination.

With his victory in the Preakness Stakes, Epicome becomes the second horse in history to win both the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness Stakes in the same year. If he can capture the Belmont Stakes in June, he will join an elite group of horses to have won the Triple Crown.
