Some History and Facts on the Preakness Stakes |
The Preakness Stakes is a classic 1 3/16 mile (1.91 km) thoroughbred horse race for three-year-olds, held on the third Saturday in May of each year at Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore, Maryland. Colts and geldings carry 126 pounds (57 kg); fillies 121 lb (55 kg).
Two years before the Kentucky Derby was run for the first time, Pimlico introduced its new stakes race for three-year-olds, the Preakness, during its first-ever spring race meet in 1873. Governor Bowie had named the then mile and one-half (2.41 km) race in honor of Dinner Party Stakes-winner, Preakness, from the Preakness Stables, Wayne, New Jersey.
The Maryland Jockey Club was founded in 1743, and thus today is the oldest sporting association in the North America. After 262 years it remains the corporate name of Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore, which opened in 1870, and is home to the Preakness Stakes®, the middle jewel in horse racing's famed Triple Crown, and the historic Pimlico Special. In 2002, Magna Entertainment Corp. (MEC), North America's number one owner and operator of horse racetracks, based on revenues, purchased a majority share of the Maryland Jockey Club and it has become an important part of MEC's expanding network of major North American tracks.
The Preakness has been run at seven different distances:
1 1/2 miles (2.41 km) -- 1873 to 1888 and 1890
1 1/4 miles (2.01 km) -- 1889
1 1/16 miles (1.71 km) -- 1894 to 1900 and 1908
1 mile 70 yards (1.67 km) -- 1901 to 1907
1 mile (1.61 km) -- 1909 and 1910
1 1/8 miles (1.81 km) -- 1911 to 1924
1 3/16 miles (1.91 km) -- 1925 to present

134 winner of the Preakness stakes 2009 |
Rachel Alexandra won Preakness Stakes 134
Rachel Alexandra didn’t disappoint by becoming the first filly to win the Preakness Stakes in 85 years. Rachel Alexandra was the favorite all week opening at 7/2 odds to win and closing at 2/1. The last filly to win the Preakness was Nellie Morse.
Rachel Alexandra also was the first horse to win from post position 13 in the Preakness Stakes. It was never really close coming to the wire even though Derby winner Mine That Bird made a hard charge on the outside towards the end of the 1 and 3/16th mile track at Pimlico.
Rounding out the top 4 were Musket Man in third and Flying Private in fourth. Congrats to Rachel Alexandra and his rider Calvin Borel in making Preakness history.
