BALTIMORE (AP) — Early Voting captured the Preakness on Saturday, holding off hard-charging favorite Epicenter to win by 1 ¼ lengths at Pimlico.
Early Voting stalked behind the leaders for much of the race, moving into the lead around the final turn. He finished 1 1/4 lengths ahead of Epicenter, the runner-up in the Kentucky Derby.
Early Voting went off at 5-1 and gave trainer Chad Brown his second Preakness victory. It was the first Preakness win for jockey Jose Ortiz.
