The Triple Crown continues with its second race, the Preakness Stakes. Mystik Dan is on a mission to win the elusive title after capturing the Kentucky Derby, and he gets a little lift this time.
Muth, the favorite to win, was scratched from the race only days ago with a fever. With it down to eight horses, Mystik Dan's chances at winning the Preakness Stakes only improve.
It hasn't been done in a long time, though. The last horse to win the Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes was Justify in 2018. He went on to become the 13th horse to win the Triple Crown.
Until Mystik Dan can think about that title though, he has to finish first at the Baltimore-based race. For those wanting to see the thoroughbred make history, here's how to get tickets for the Preakness, one of the biggest horse racing events of the year.
