Gosger entered the race having won his last two starts, most recently claiming a victory in the Grade 3 Lexington Stakes in April. The horse is named after former MLB outfielder Jim Gosger, who told Paulick Report's Clark Spencer that being the horses namesake "ranks right up at the top" of his career.

The 150th Preakness Stakes was a race for the ages, and Journalism prevailed in the end. With this year's event being a milestone, it was only right that the race came down to the final moments. The result was an instant classic that will be remembered for some time and looked back upon as one of the best races in 2025 - and one of the best in the Preakness' storied history.

Gosger's development trajectory was just a bit too late to make the field for the Kentucky Derby, but his ascent has lined up well for a start in the Preakness Stakes on Saturday at Pimlico Race Course.
