The Preakness Stakes

The Preakness Stakes, the Middle Jewel of the Triple Crown, will be held on Saturday, May 18th, 2019 at Pimlico Race Course, in Baltimore, Maryland. The 95th Black-Eyed Susan will take place on Friday, May 17th, kicking off an incredible weekend of entertainment and world-class Thoroughbred racing.

142nd running of the Preakness. An agreement among sportsmen to stage a special race became the foundation for the middle jewel of racing’s Triple Crown. In 1873, two years before the Kentucky Derby would appear, Pimlico was busy introducing its new stakes race, The Preakness. The tradition continues at America’s second-oldest race track and has become a trademark on America’s horse racing calendar. Join us at the 2019 Preakness and watch the nation’s best three-year-olds compete in the time-honored rite to win the 2nd Leg of the Triple Crown
