Baltimore, MD (Sports Network) - I'll Have Another caught Bodemeister down the stretch again to capture Saturday's Preakness Stakes at Pimlico Race Course.

Bodemeister, just as in the Kentucky Derby, set the stage from the outset and was in front coming down the stretch.

But another strong finish by I'll Have Another ended with the horses neck-and- neck and I'll Have Another taking the victory by a head.

I'll Have Another now has a chance to become the first Triple Crown champion since Affirmed in 1978. The final race in the classic series is the 1 1/2 mile Belmont Stakes on June 9.

Creative Cause finished third.
