Horse Racing - The Preakness Stakes

Preakness Stakes The Preakness Stakes is the second leg of horse racing's Triple Crown events. Held two weeks after the Kentucky Derby (third Saturday in May). and prior to the Belmont Stakes. After every Preakness the weather vane, which is now located in the infield, is repainted with the winner's colors.

The Preakness Stakes - History

Preakness Stakes America was less than 100 years old when this course in Baltimore held its first race on Oct. 25, 1870. The track was first plowed by an immigrant from the Pimlico section of London. The Maryland Agricultural Society hosted a fair on the site before leasing it to the race's current host the Maryland Jockey Club in 1869. It's the second oldest active track in the country (Saratoga 1864). The original Victorian clubhouse tragically burned down in 1966, leaving only the iron horse-and-jockey weather vane that sat atop its roof.
