The Preakness Stakes is nestled in between the Kentucky Derby and the Belmont Stakes. It forms the middle race in America’s world-famous Triple Crown series. It’s one of the most popular horse races in America as a result, routinely drawing crowds of well over 100,000 people. This is only narrowly eclipsed by the Kentucky Derby, perhaps the only race that has more recognition.

The Preakness Stakes has played host to some of the most exciting horse races since its inception in 1871. “The Run for the Black-Eyed Susans,” as it is known, never fails to disappoint fans. (The race’s designation as “The Run for the Black-Eyed Susans” comes from the state’s official flower, as well as serving as a nod to the Kentucky Derby’s designation as “The Run for the Roses.”) If you are even moderately interested in horse racing, the Preakness is a must-see.

Like the other Triple Crown races, the Preakness Stakes is steeped in its own traditions and customs. Since it is held in Baltimore, Maryland, each race is preceded by a singing of the state’s official song, “Maryland, My Maryland.” And, whenever a horse wins a race, the Old Clubhouse has the colors of the winning team’s banner added to it, serving as an immortalization of their victory.

The Preakness Stakes is the race that fuels interest in the possibility that a Triple Crown winner could occur that year. If the winner of the Preakness Stakes also won the Kentucky Derby, the Belmont Stakes will become REALLY exciting—only then will that horse have an actual shot at winning the coveted Triple Crown. Laying the foundation for what’s to come, if you have your eye on the Triple Crown, don’t ignore the Preakness Stakes!

Preakness Stakes results 2019

As you might already know, the 144th Preakness Stakes was won by none other than War of Will at the Pimlico Race Course. While there was a bit of controversy surrounding his finishing time, these concerns were quickly put to rest. War of Will represents the first win in this race for jockey Mark Casse, with it being yet another accolade to add to his ever-growing trophy cabinet.

Notably, War of Will was not eligible to win the Triple Crown. This is due to the fact that the winner of the Kentucky Derby, Country Horse, decided not to participate in the race. In that race, War of Will was bumped from eighth to seventh place after the horse ahead of him was disqualified. It’s safe to say that all this moving and shaking stopped any potential Triple Crown winner, which was certainly disappointing.

As War of Will’s win shows, the Preakness Stakes guarantees players plenty of action and sometimes even a dash of controversy. Thankfully, it’s unlikely that you’ll ever see as much controversy at the Preakness Stakes as we did at the Kentucky Derby this year, but that’s a story for another day. Overall, War of Will was a deserving winner and it was a shame that the Triple Crown title was just out of reach for this fine horse.

The very first Preakness Stakes did not disappoint. In 1873, the horse Survivor managed to win by a staggering 10-length margin, a record that remained unsurpassed for an astounding 131 years. It wasn’t until 2004 that the horse Smarty Jones beat that by an 11.5-length margin. Such victories are as rare as they are extraordinary; 2019’s victor, War of Will, only managed a margin of victory of 1.25 lengths over the runner-up, which speaks volumes about the impressive nature of Smarty Jones and Survivor’s victories.

Veterans of horse racing will undoubtedly remember the spectacular run Secretariat had way back in 1973. The Triple Crown winner set an all-time record of 1:53 at the Preakness Stakes, a record that has never been topped. Notably, this time was only certified in 2012 following controversy over the integrity of the timers used. Following a period of recalibration and back calculation, the official time was established. As for the most accomplished jockey, that honor belongs to Eddie Arcaro, who managed to snag a grand total of six wins during the 1940s and 1950s.
