The Preakness In a story-book finish, 'Greek money' battles 'ridan' down to the wire in the 86th preakness and just noses out the favorites to win $135,000 top money. Crowds, middle aged balding man with binoculars. Horses run out of gate, at start of race. Great shot of horses on track running towards camera. Man in hat, fans himself with his newspaper. Horse 'Greek money' in winners circle with floral blanket, man tries to steady horse.
