There will be no Triple Crown winner in 2021.
Rombauer, the horse with 12/1 morning line odds, surprised the field by winning the race by two lengths over second-place finisher Midnight Bourbon.
Medina Spirit, the betting favorite to win the 2021 Preakness Stakes, certainly gave it a good run, leading the 10-horse field throughout the first three quarters of the 1 3/16-mile race. But it ran out of energy in the final stretch, falling to third behind Midnight Bourbon and Rombauer.
That removes any potential controversy of a tainted Triple Crown winner in 2021; though a second test has yet to confirm that Medina Spirit ran the Kentucky Derby with 21 picograms of betamethasone, it's still possible Churchill Downs could invalidate the horse's first-place finish at the Kentucky Derby. Now, regardless of whether that happens, the Triple Crown will remain unaffected.
