Preakness Stakes
The second jewel of the Triple Crown is the Preakness Stakes, run at Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore, Maryland. The Grade 1 race for three-year-old Thoroughbreds is run over 1 3/16 miles and has a purse of $1.5 million. The Preakness is a proving ground for the Kentucky Derby winner, who tries to take the second leg and head into New York with a shot at the Triple Crown. But it is also a place where “fresh” horses that bypassed the Derby offer a new challenge. The Preakness is also only two weeks after the Derby, which is a turnaround most horses haven’t faced, and won’t ever again. Some of the best Preakness winners include horses that did go on to take the Triple Crown, such as Secretariat, Seattle Slew, and American Pharoah. It is a race that has been won by fillies - female horses - twice in the last 15 years: Swiss Skydiver and Rachel Alexandra. Trainer Bob Baffert is tied for the most wins in the Preakness with 1870s trainer R. Wyndham Walden; they each have seven. D. Wayne Lukas has six victories.
