Seize the Grey went wire to wire to win the Preakness Stakes on Saturday, May 18, giving 88-year-old Hall of Fame trainer D. Wayne Lukas a seventh victory in the race and ending Mystik Dan’s Triple Crown bid.
The gray colt took advantage of the muddy track just as Lukas hoped he would, pulling off the upset in a second consecutive impressive start two weeks after romping in a race on the Derby undercard at Churchill Downs. Seize the Grey went off at 9–1, one of the longest shots on the board, moved out to the lead and never looked back.
