Curlin ($8.80), the second choice, stumbled slightly at the start, settled near the back of the pack, and was passed by Street Sense as the field came around the far turn and into the stretch. But he resolutely kept to his task and wore down Street Sense in the final yards to win by a head.

Hard Spun, the Derby runner-up, was another four lengths back in third. C P West was fourth and was followed, in order, by Circular Quay, King of the Roxy, Mint Slewlep, Xchanger, and Flying First Class.

Curlin earned $600,000 from a total purse of $1 million. He will come to the 2007 Belmont Stakes as heavy favorite on June 9, 2007 at Belmont Park, the last leg of the Triple Crown.

Bernardini Is Preakness Winner - No Triple Crown Yet Again

Undefeated and heavy favorite horse, Barbaro, was pulled out of the race after suffering injury. His absence allowed Bernardini to take the 132nd Preakness Stakes at Pimlico on Saturday.

After his Preakness win, the colt is not definitely set for the Belmont Stakes in three weeks, but trainer Tom Albertrani expects a decision in a few days.

Albertrani, has another Belmont starter in Deputy Glitters, who finished eighth in the Kentucky Derby and skipped the Preakness.

Bernardini was the surprise winner of the Preakness, beating Sweetnorthernsaint by 5 1/4 lengths, the race overshadowed by the serious injury at the start to Barbaro. The Derby winner broke three bones in his right rear leg and was in surgery Sunday fighting for his life.

Barbaro sustained “life-threatening injuries” after breaking bones above and below his right rear ankle at the start of the Preakness Stakes.

Late Sunday afternoon, surgeons announced that Barbaro’s over seven-hour surgery was completed, and the classic winner is in the intensive care unit at the New Bolton Center and standing.

Unbeaten horse and Kentucky Derby winner Barbaro was made an even-money favorite for Saturday’s 2006 Preakness Stakes after drawing post no. 6 in the nine-horse field.

The $1 million-purse race at Pimlico is the second jewel in Triple Crown, which began with Barbaro’s 6 1/2-length triumph at Churchill Downs and concludes with next month’s Belmont Stakes in New York on June 10.

No horse has swept the treble since Affirmed in 1978 but Barbaro, set to make his seventh career start, could become the fourth horse in five years to reach Belmont with a chance at the Triple Crown.

Brother Derek, in a dead heat for fourth at the Derby, is the second choice among oddsmakers at 3-1 with Sweetnorthernsaint, seventh as the Derby favorite, at 4-1 and starting just outside Barbaro. Bernadini is next at 8-1.

Like Now is at 12-1 with Greeley’s Legacy at 20-1 and both Diabolical and Hemingway’s Key, a horse owned by New York Yankees owner George Steinbrenner and trained by Hall of Famer Nick Zito, at 30-1. Platinum Couple is the longshot at 50-1.
