Watch the 2025 Preakness Replay: Journalism’s Thrilling Victory

Journalism captured the 2025 Preakness Stakes on Saturday evening in a thrilling finish, powering down the backstretch at Baltimore’s Pimlico Race Course to cross the finish line first with a time of 1:55.47.

In a dramatic final sprint, Journalism surged past Gosger—the second-longest shot in the race—to secure the win for trainer Michael McCarthy. Despite bumping into other horses during the charge, jockey Umberto Rispoli guided Journalism with skill and determination.

Following a steward’s inquiry into the contact, everything was cleared, and Journalism was officially confirmed as the race winner.
