Veteran jockey Gary Stevens hailed his Preakness Stakes win as “super, super sweet” after partnering Oxbow to success at Pimlico on Saturday.

The Aidan O’Brien-trained Lines Of Battle (Ryan Moore) was seventh but was never able to threaten the leaders in the Kentucky Derby on Saturday night.

Aidan O’Brien’s main thoughts will be on the first Classics of the season at Newmarket but the trainer will have one eye on the action across the Atlantic as Lines Of Battle goes for glory in the Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs.
