Sol Kumin, a former Johns Hopkins University lacrosse player who was part of 39 wins and two NCAA Final Fours during his career with the Blue Jays, celebrated another sporting victory in Baltimore on Saturday.

Kumin is co-owner of Exaggerator, the 3-year-old colt who came from behind to win the 141st Preakness Stakes at Pimlico Race Course on Saturday afternoon. The horse covered the sloppy, mud-slicked 1 3/16 miles in 1 minute, 58.31 seconds, besting 10 other thoroughbreds in the field, including Kentucky Derby champion and Preakness favorite Nyquist.
