Napoleon Solo clinched victory in the 151st Preakness Stakes at Laurel Park, Maryland, on May 16, 2026, marking a significant comeback for both the horse and trainer Chad Summers. After a promising 2-year-old season, Napoleon Solo entered the race following two fifth-place finishes but proved his worth by surging ahead in the final turn. The race, traditionally held at Pimlico Race Course, was relocated due to renovations, resulting in a reduced attendance of approximately 4,000 spectators compared to the usual 60,000. The $2 million purse was distributed among the top five finishers, with Napoleon Solo taking home $1.2 million. Owner Al Gold is set to receive $960,000, while trainer Chad Summers will earn $120,000. Jockey Paco Lopez, who rode Napoleon Solo to victory, will also take home $120,000, marking their first wins in this prestigious race. Iron Honor and Chip Honcho finished second and third, earning $400,000 and $220,000, respectively. The Preakness Stakes is the second leg of the Triple Crown, with the Belmont Stakes scheduled for June 6, 2026.
