Breaking from post 10 under Declan Cannon at 5/1 odds, Lanier sat in a close stalking position while Richiesinthehouse and Gone Ghost dueled through opening fractions of :23.99 and :47.56. Given his cue in the far turn, Lanier tipped out to run three-wide and was the first competitor to take a run at the top pair. Taking command at 1/4 pole, Lanier drew off sharply in the stretch to win by 4 lengths. The Brett Santangelo trainee’s winning time was 1:35.84 for the mile-long event over the all weather main track. While no match for the winner, What’s Up Dude was able to get up at the wire and neck out the 2/1 favorite Nun the Less for second. Sir Anthony finished fourth ahead of Revved Up, while Richiesinthehouse and Gone Ghost faded to sixth and seventh, respectively. Eckersley, Machtree, and Gita’s Lad completed the order of finish. Reride was a stewards scratch. Want to bet like NHC Champion Jonathon Kinchen? Download our Inside Track to the Preakness wagering guide now!
