Preakness 2026 Final Results, Standings, Payouts and Replay Highlights

The 151st running of the Preakness Stakes took place Saturday, with Kentucky Derby winner Golden Tempo sitting out the race and ensuring that there would be no new Triple Crown winner for the first time since 2018.

That did not take away from the drama as 14 horses vied for the opportunity to etch their names in the history books with a win in Laurel Park, Maryland, the makeshift home of this year's race, as renovations continue at Pimlico Race Track.

Who emerged from this year's race? What were the highlights? How much were the race payouts?

Napoleon Solo's Historic Day

Napoleon Solo raced to the front of the pack out of the gate, and by the time the 151st Preakness reached its final stretch, the colt and jockey Paco Lopez sprinted past the competition and to the finish line, winning the second leg of the 2026 Triple Crown.

Trainer Chad Summers denounced the critics who had told him to pack it up, to leave the sport, and basked in his horse's victory in the historic race. It was his first career start in the Preakness and his first Triple Crown win.

Napoleon Solo had entered Saturday's race having competed twice in 2026 and been shut out of a top-three finish to that point. His ownership team, trainer, and jockey will happily settle for disappointing finishes in those races in exchange for this historic victory.

Iron Honor went four-wide at one point and even appeared to be in position to win the entire thing, but ultimately settled for the runner-up position with jockey Flavian Pratt.

Chip Honcho, one of the most intriguing picks to win this race, raced to the front of the pack late, challenging the eventual winner before finishing third with Kentucky Derby-winning jockey, Jose Ortiz.

Favorite Taj Mahal (9/2 at race time) faded late, squeezed up against the inside rail with nowhere to go and no other speed to be found. He finished fourth.
