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
