Early Voting first past post

Racing: Early Voting overcame sweltering heat to win the Preakness Stakes at Pimlico yesterday, in a muted Triple Crown race that went off without Kentucky Derby winner Rich Strike.

With 2017 Belmont winner Jose Ortiz aboard, Early Voting settled in behind early leader Armagnac before wresting control of the affair around the far turn from the outside.

Kentucky Derby runnerup Epicenter once again settled for second and Creative Minister finished third. — Reuters
