Jockey John Velazquez's victory in the Kentucky Derby May 6 was his fourth Triple Crown race triumph, but there's still one Triple Crown win that has eluded him.
Velazquez, who also won the Kentucky Derby in 2011 as well as the Belmond Stakes in 2007 and 2012, has yet to add a win in the Preakness to his Triple Crown resume. He will have an opportunity to do so May 20, when he comes to Baltimore as the current rock star of the horse-racing world, along with his horse, Always Dreaming.
"It's missing … I've been chasing it for a little while. Looking back, I haven't run the Preakness a lot," Velazquez told Glenn Clark Radio May 8. "It's a race that I do [think about] a lot; I'm not getting any younger."
