Everyone was saying it was a two horse race. Everyone was wrong.
Cloud Computing pulled the upset in Saturday’s running of the 142nd Preakness Stakes on Saturday under overcast skies on a fast track.
He caught the leaders down the stretch and overtook second-favorite Classic Empire to win by a nose and end the Triple Crown hopes of Always Dreaming, winner of the Kentucky Derby. Senior Investment finished third.

As expected, the racing surface at Pimlico Race Course has been upgraded to fast for the 142nd running of the Preakness Stakes.
An overnight rain left the track muddy when fans and horsemen arrived Saturday morning. But the lack of more precipitation and a steady wind dried out the track significantly.
It was still a little wet but not the slop that hindered horses two weeks ago in the Kentucky Derby.
Here are the latest odds on the Preakness Stakes as of 5 p.m. EDT.

Three hours before the running of the 142nd Preakness Stakes at Pimlico Race Course, the racing surface was upgraded from muddy to good.
It actually appeared the surface had improved several races earlier, but no change was made in its status until midday.
When asked whether the surface would improve enough to be rated fast by Preakness post, Sal Sinatra, Maryland Jockey Club president and general manager, said: "I'm pretty confident. I'm feeling good about it."
