Kentucky Derby winner Sovereignty won't race in the Preakness, meaning there will be no Triple Crown winner for the seventh consecutive year. Sovereignty is the fourth Derby winner in those past seven years to opt out of the opportunity. (Journalism is the 8-5 morning line favorite .)

Journalism has won the 150th running of the Preakness Stakes. The heavy favorite made good on lofty expectations two weeks after finishing second to Sovereignty in the Kentucky Derby.

Journalism battles past the competition down the final stretch and manages to barely catch Gosger before the finish line to win the Preakness Stakes.
