Record-Setting Win Marred by Death on Track
- Mage, the Kentucky Derby winner, finished third in the Preakness Stakes.
- National Treasure won the Preakness Stakes, giving trainer Bob Baffert his eighth win and breaking a 137-year-old record.
- Baffert's horse Havnameltdown had to be euthanized after suffering an injury during an earlier race.
- Calls for reform echoed after the death, which occurred just weeks after seven horses died at Churchill Downs.
- The horse racing industry faced scrutiny over equine welfare, though National Treasure's win showed Baffert's continued success.
