National Treasure (foaled March 17, 2020) is an American thoroughbred racehorse who won the 2023 Preakness Stakes.

Bob Baffert was returning to the racecourse after serving a two-year suspension due to his 2021 Derby winner Medina Spirit failing a post-race drug test.

Mage and other favourites were upset by National Treasure in the Preakness, giving the famed trainer his seventh triumph.

The three-year-old horse owned by trainer Bob Baffert, Havnameltdown, was euthanized before the Preakness race on Saturday. He had fatally fractured his leg.

The winner of the Kentucky Derby this year, Mage, finished third. As a result, the fifth consecutive year without a Triple Crown winner.
