NBC drew 9.6 million viewers on Saturday to watch California Chrome continue its chase towards history at the Preakness Stakes.
The 9.6 million was down a hair from 2013’s race, which drew 9.7 million viewers, but was up 19% over the 8.1 million that watched I’ll Have Another win the race in 2012, the last time a horse won the first two legs of the Triple Crown.
The Triple Crown wraps up June 7 with the Belmont Stakes, where California Chrome will attempt to become the first since Affirmed in 1978 to win all three races.
