Napoleon Solo holds off Iron Honor to win 151st Preakness Stakes

• Kentucky winner Golden Tempo does not compete

• Race staged at Laurel Park amid Pimlico renovation

Napoleon Solo held off Iron Honor down the stretch to win the 151st Preakness Stakes on Saturday, rebounding from a pair of fifth-place showings for his first victory of the year.

Kentucky Derby winner Golden Tempo was held out of the race, leaving a wide-open field of 14 horses to contest the middle jewel of the Triple Crown, which was held at Laurel Park in Maryland this year because Pimlico in Baltimore is being rebuilt.
