The entire world of thoroughbred racing captivated by Superstar American colt Justify who is able to pull off emphatic victory in the 2018 Preakness Stakes at Pimlico racetrack in Baltimore.
After grabbing a victory in the 2018 Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs just two short weeks ago the talented West coast-based Colt trained by super conditioner Bob Baffert, now appears to be poised for Triple Crown glory.
It was a difficult task for him at Pimlico - much more so than his front running victory in the derby where his jockey, the Hall of Famer Mike Smith, was able to complete the race without a single speck of mud on his white silks.
Pulling off a victory in what was considered to be the West Kentucky Derby of all time with a Fast front-running Trip is certainly something that is going to live in the annals of horse racing history for many years to come.
It's also worth noting that justify was the first horse to win the Kentucky Derby having not raced at the age of 2 since the late 1880s when a horse named Apollo was able to pull off a similar feat.
