Napoleon Solo wins Preakness Stakes

Napoleon Solo has claimed victory in the 151st Preakness Stakes, delivering a stunning upset at Laurel Park.

The colt, who had struggled in his previous two outings, produced a powerful late surge to hold off Iron Honor and secure his first win of the year.

The triumph is a career milestone for trainer Chad Summers and jockey Paco Lopez, marking their first victory in a Triple Crown race.

Notably, Kentucky Derby winner Golden Tempo did not compete, leaving the field wide open for a new champion to emerge.
