Swiss Skydiver won the Preakness Stakes on Saturday at Pimlico Race Course, beating favored Authentic by a neck. There were no fans to watch, with the stands empty because of the coronavirus pandemic.

The Preakness was the third leg of the Triple Crown this year, after races were switched around due to the pandemic. The Kentucky Derby was four weeks earlier and the Belmont three-and-a-half months ago. There were three different winners in the three Triple Crown races, with Tiz The Law winning the Belmont and Authentic the Kentucky Derby.
