- Journalism emerged victorious in the 150th Preakness Stakes held this past weekend at Baltimore's Pimlico Race Course, besting a field of nine entrants.

- Journalism, ridden by jockey Umberto Rispoli and trained by Michael McCarthy, rallied in the final moments to secure the win in the Preakness Stakes, the middle race of the Triple Crown, on a warm track that had dried out after a week of heavy rain.
- Journalism completed the 1 3/16-mile race in 1:55.37, held a half-length lead over second-place Gosger, and earned Rispoli his first Triple Crown race win while McCarthy secured his second Preakness victory.
- This Preakness marked the fifth time in seven years without a Triple Crown bid at stake, and it was the last at the old Pimlico before planned rebuilding and a 2027 return, with Journalism asserting a claim for three-year-old horse of the year.
