Napoleon Solo crossed the finish line first in the Preakness Stakes
Exaggerator has finished first in rainy and muddy Preakness, ending Nyquist's Triple Crown bid.
A steady rain soaked Pimlico Race Course on Saturday morning, and the forecast for the rest of the way was anything but sunny on Preakness Day.
Unbeaten in eight races, Kentucky Derby winner Nyquist will start from the No. 3 gate Saturday in the Preakness as the overwhelming favorite in the 11-horse field.
The colt will run in Sunday's $1 million Haskell Invitational at Monmouth Park Racetrack, and the race is expected to draw record crowds.
