Whatever the complications of the Derby scandal, there was no debate over the Dancer's disqualification in the Preakness at Pimlico. Fuller, who originally said that he would not run the horse if Cavalaris was suspended, changed his mind and entered Dancer's Image 16 minutes before the Preakness deadline. "He will vindicate himself, once and for all," insisted Cavalaris, who had to settle for watching the race on TV. But the vindicating was done by Forward Pass. In the stretch, Dancer's Image clipped one horse's heels, slammed broadside into another horse, and wound up trailing Forward Pass across the finish line by six lengths. The Pimlico stewards took only 15 minutes to disqualify the Dancer and make Forward Pass's victory official—thereby giving the Calumet Farm colt two legs on racing's Triple Crown.
