BALTIMORE – Filly Swiss Skydiver added another memorable moment to a topsy-turvy Triple Crown season.Jockey Robby Albarado made a power move to pass favored Authentic around the far turn, and Swiss Skydiver beat him by a neck after a stretch duel in the Preakness Stakes run without fans Saturday.
She's the sixth filly and first since Rachel Alexandra in 2009 to win the Preakness, which this year served as the third leg of the Triple Crown for the first time.“Just a real honor to be around a horse like this,” said trainer Kenny McPeek, who won his first Preakness and second Triple Crown race. “It’s a special moment.”Swiss Skydiver went off at odds of 11-1 and upset 3-2 favorite Authentic, who came in off winning the Kentucky Derby.
