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

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.
