132nd winner of the Preakness stakes 2007

Curlin wins the 132 nd Preakness

The finish of the 132nd Preakness was the closest finish in a decade. The winner, Curlin, also tied the race record for the fastest ever, 1:53.46. The horse is being called a monster after he dug in and chased down the number two horse, Street Sense.

Curlin has only been racing for four months, and even stumbled out of the gate. Jockey Robby Albarado had trouble negotiating the first tight corner, but in the end made headway in the final stretch. He ended up winning by just a head in front of Street Sense.

Curlin, in only his fifth career start and under regular jockey Robby Albarado, won the run for the Black-Eyed Susans in the very final jump, by just a head. Street Sense finished second, four lengths ahead of Hard Spun, who settled for third. Curlin’s final time of 1:53.46 tied the Preakness Stakes record for 1-3/16 miles, held jointly by Louis Quatorze (1966) and Tank’s Prospect (1985).

The result was a repeat of the one-two-three finishers from the Kentucky Derby two Saturday’s ago, but this time in a completely different jumble. Street Sense had finished first, Hard Spun second and Curlin third at Churchill Downs. Today the result was Curlin, then Street Sense and then Hard Spun.
