THE NUMBER

6

Swiss Skydiver became just the sixth filly and first since Rachel Alexandra in 2009 to win the Preakness on Saturday afternoon, which this year served as the third leg of the Triple Crown for the first time. At odds of 11-1, Swiss Skydiver pulled off an upset of 3-2 favorite Authentic, who won the Kentucky Derby. There was also no Triple Crown sweep for the 40th time in the last 42 years.
