It took five tries, but Exaggerator finally got the better of Nyquist. Exaggerator, who finished second to Nyquist twice previously, including the Kentucky Derby, sprinted hard down the back stretch to pass Nyquist and end the dream of a second consecutive Triple Crown winner.
Exaggerator's trainer Keith Desormeaux said just before the race that Exaggerator loves the mud and the conditions worked out. It was jockey Kent Desormeaux's third career win at the Preakness Stakes.
