Rombauer, 11-1 Long shot, Wins Preakness

Kentucky Derby winner Medina Spirit was cleared to run in the Preakness after multiple blood tests showed no doping, but it was 11-1 long shot Rombauer that pulled away at the end to win the 2021 Preakness in Baltimore by 3 ½ lengths.

Medina Spirit could still have that Derby win nullified if results of a follow up test show the presence of the steroid betamethasone in higher than acceptable levels. Trainer Bob Baffert stayed away from Pimlico, sending a long time assistant in his place. Medina Spirit finished third behind Rombauer and Midnight Bourbon in an exciting race.
