Preakness 2013 Victorious one: Oxbow Victory Means A lot more than Just Stakes Win.

Oxbow's impossible 2013 Preakness win was an extensive feat, but the victory in the 138th running at Pimlico Battle Course was about so much more than a horse winning a race.

Sporting 15-1 the chances, Oxbow spoiled any thinks of racing fans seeing a Triple Crown winner in 2013, as he cruised to your 1 3/4 lengths triumph over second-place finisher, Itsmyluckyday (h/t Liz Clarke of the Boston Globe).

Affirmed was the last horse to win the Triple Crown back in 1978, meaning it'll be at the least 36 years until everyone potentially see another Multiply Crown victor. Orb, the favorite to win the Preakness and winner within the 2013 Kentucky Derby, done the race fourth.

With Oxbow's first-place finish, Hall of Fame trainer D. Wayne Lukas won his 14th Triple Crown racing win, giving him more wins than every other trainer. Despite Lukas' achievements in his profession, that it was quite some time since the famous trainer found success (via David Grening in the Daily Racing Forum).

Plainly, Lukas has a knack with regard to preparing his horses with the best of their abilities—a talent that has cemented him as a Hall of Famer and one of the best trainers throughout the internet business.

Hallway of Fame jockey Whilst gary Stevens, a 50-year-old grand daddy might I add, ended up of a seven-year pension to ride Oxbow with the winner's circle on Weekend, his first Preakness race since he finished 6th aboard Noble Causeway inside 2005 (h/t Preakness. com).

Stevens, who portrayed George Woolf with 2003's "Seabiscuit, " definitely boasted two Preakness Pins victories entering the 2013 event, having won in 1997 and 2001 aboard Silver Beauty and Point Given.

While the 138th running in the Preakness Stakes was surely one for ones ages, I think the historical storylines go beyond just an unexpected indy winning a race.

After all, it's not often that him and i see a trainer set accurate documentation for most Triple Crown wins ever sold or a 50-year-old jockey come out of retirement to bolster his standing for a Hall of Fame cyclist.
