I'LL HAVE ANOTHER HAS ANOTHER AT THE PREAKNESS
Kentucky Derby winner I'LL HAVE ANOTHER takes the Preakness in an extremely exciting race, with a narrow win over BODEMEISTER.
Bodemeister was leading from the start into the stretch, with I'll Have Another in fourth position most of the way. In the stretch, as Bodemeister was pulling away from every other horse, I'll Have Another began to gain on him. As they closed in on the finish, I'll Have Another caught up to Bodemeister and then passed him just before the finish.
This means the Belmont, the third leg of the Triple Crown on June 9, 2012, will decide whether I'll Have Another becomes the first horse in over 3 decades to win the Triple Crown. (The last Triple Crown winner was Affirmed in 1978.)
