The Preakness Stakes

The history of the Preakness Stakes dates back to the Pimlico course in 1873. A race, at the distance of a mile and a half, was run, and was named Preakness in honor of a colt from Milton Holbrook Sanford's Preakness Stables. Survivor won by 10 lengths, the largest margin of victory until 2004 (Smarty Jones). Today the Preakness has been run a total of 132 times, coming up on 133 in this year's race.
Be sure to be there! The entries and their post numbers are not firm yet. Big Brown will probably most certainly be entered, and more than likely will be the favorite as he was in the Derby. Winning from the outside post of 20 is quite an accomplishment. So far, no horse who was in the Derby has entered to re-challenge Big Brown.
The entries and their post numbers will be posted on this blog as soon as they are announced!
Have a fun Run for the Black Susans day!!!
