Sports photographer Ryan Lasek shot the 137th running of the Preakness Stakes and preparations in Baltimore, MD.

It has been a 34 year drought for a triple crown winner, so will we see history on June 9th in the Belmont stakes? I believe so, I’ll Have Another is one beast of an animal! After his Preakness run, I’ll Have Another did not look like he had just ran a race of his life. As I’ll Have Another  heads to Belmont to become only the 12th horse in history to complete the sweep we will see many challengers ready to attempt to stop team O’Neill’s run at history.  Enjoy these images from the 137th Preakness!
