2017 Preakness Results – Cloud Computing Wins at 13/1 odds

Cloud Computing wins the 2017 Preakness Stakes by upsetting the two favorites Always Dreaming and Classic Empire!!!!  Cloud Computing was not entered in the Kentucky Derby and is only the fourth horse in 34 years to win the Preakness after not running in the Kentucky Derby. 

There will not be a Triple Crown winner this year as Always Dreaming (The 2017 Kentucky Derby winner) was upset by Cloud Computing at 13/1 odds. Always Dreaming, Classic Empire were running 1-2 at the 3/4 pole. 

With jockey Javier Castellano aboard, Cloud Computing was strategically positioned third throughout the race. This gave him plenty of energy down the stretch to run down Classic Empire beating him by a head in a thrilling finish to the wire for the impressive victory.

Always Dreaming weakened in the stretch and finished a very disappointing 8th place. Classic Empire came in 2nd place. Senior Investment made an impressive run from the back of the pack to roar up for 3rd place and might be a horse to watch in the near future. 

Watch the exciting replay of the 2017 Preakness Stakes.
