Every year, the Preakness provides fireworks in Baltimore and on televisions nationwide.
This year's event proved no different, but it wasn't simply due to the finish. War of Will placed first in the 13-horse race, though it was the efforts of Bodexpress that proved most impressive.
Bodexpress' jockey John Velazquez fell at the beginning of the race, which led to an unprecendented sequence. Bodexpress ran the rest of the race without a jockey.
