Lookin At Lucky Wins Preakness

The second leg of the Triple Crown came around with the 2010 Preakness Stakes. Many fans were looking at Super Saver, winner of the Kentucky Derby, as a favorite to win this race with Calvin Borel as the jockey. The winner though would be Lookin At Lucky with Martin Garcia as the Jockey. Super Saver would actually finish 8th in the race. Fans now are disappointed once again as there won't be a Triple Crown winner for at least another year.

Though the Triple Crown is something that does not happen very often (only 11 times and last one was 1978), Horse Racing needs it to come around again. It's popularity has dropped off and needs a great horse to come along and revive some interest. The sport weighed in so heavily on Big Brown winning the Triple Crown in 2008 and it was a heartbreaker when Big Brown couldn't win the Belmont. A Triple Crown winner is needed to help bring back the popularity of Thoroughbred Racing.
