Panthers quarterback Cam Newton went to Saturday’s Preakness Stakes dressed in a bright red jacket and white pants. He left as a hero, at least for one woman.A downpour hit the Pimlico Race Course shortly before post time, making the track a muddy mess. After American Pharoah had dominated the rest of field to win the second jewel of the Triple Crown, a chivalrous Newton was caught on camera by the Preakness Stakes social media team. They posted a Snapchat video of him carrying a woman across the mud, a moment you can watch by pressing play below:[TS_VCSC_HTML5_Video video_mp4_source=”true” video_mp4_local=”189695″ video_webm_source=”true” video_ogg_source=”true” video_theme=”minimum” video_fixed=”false” video_fixed_position=”bottomleft” video_fixed_adjust=”0″ video_fixed_switch=”toggle” video_fixed_show=”true” video_fixed_width=”250″ video_fixed_height=”140″ video_volume=”50″ video_fullscreen=”false” video_auto=”false” video_stop=”true” video_loop=”true” video_share=”true” video_logo_show=”logonone” video_logo_position=”topleft” video_logo_height=”50″ video_logo_opacity=”50″ frame_border_type=”solid” frame_border_width=”1″ frame_border_color=”#dadada” content_lightbox=”false” lightbox_group_name=”nachogroup” lightbox_effect=”random” lightbox_backlight_choice=”predefined” lightbox_backlight_color=”#0084E2″ lightbox_backlight_custom=”#000000″ content_open=”false” content_open_hide=”false” content_open_delay=”0″ content_trigger=”poster” content_image_simple=”false” content_image_height=”height: 100%;” content_icon=”transparent” content_iconsize=”30″ content_iconcolor=”#cccccc” content_buttonstyle=”ts-dual-buttons-color-default” content_buttonhover=”ts-dual-buttons-preview-default ts-dual-buttons-hover-default” content_buttontext=”View Video” content_buttonsize=”16″ content_tooltip_css=”false” content_tooltip_position=”ts-simptip-position-top” margin_top=”0″ margin_bottom=”0″ video_poster=”189701″]
