Justify is now one step closer to the elusive Triple Crown after winning a very tough race in the slop and fog at Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore, Maryland.
The person who won this bet also correctly picked Ultra Brat to win the Gallorette Stakes, Switzerland to win the Maryland Sprint, Girls Know Best’s to win the The Very One Stakes, Ax Man to win the Sir Barton, and Iredell to win the final race of the day following Justify’s thrilling Preakness Stakes victory over Good Magic and Bravazo.
