2009 Preakness
From its beginnings as an agreement among sportsmen one evening in 1868, The Preakness Day is still a true test of a horse's ability and class, a race where remarkable horses go head to head to be declared number one in this great classic. Every third Saturday in May the best Derby horses gather for the opportunity to become a Triple Crown Prospect. Much goes on during this colorful time at Pimlico, but it has always been the horse that draws the fans. As poet Ogden Nash wrote:
“The Derby is a race of aristocratic sleekness, for horses of birth to prove their worth to run in the Preakness.”
