About

The Preakness Stakes stands as the crown jewel of thoroughbred horse racing, serving as the second leg of the prestigious Triple Crown series held annually at Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore, Maryland. Known as "The Run for the Black-Eyed Susans," this Grade I stakes race attracts the finest three-year-old thoroughbreds from across North America, creating an electrifying atmosphere where speed, strategy, and stamina converge on the historic dirt track. Since 1873, the Preakness has produced legendary champions and unforgettable moments, with its unique traditions including the iconic blanket of black-eyed susans and the spirited infield celebration that draws racing enthusiasts from around the world. The event consistently commands national television coverage and international media attention, particularly when Triple Crown contenders emerge from the Kentucky Derby, making it essential coverage for sports journalists seeking to capture one of racing's most compelling and prestigious competitions.
