The eyes of the racing
world shift from Churchill Downs to Pimlico Race Course

The Preakness Stakes
is a Grade 1 stakes race for three-year-old thoroughbred

furlongs; 1.91 km) on a dirt track. Colts and geldings
carry 126 pounds (57 kg), while fillies carry 121 pounds

race winners with great photo finishes. Who could ever
forget horses like Northern Dancer, Secretariat, Seattle
Slew, Affirmed, Tabasco Cat, or Smarty Jones.

Rachel Alexandra 2009 Preakness
Stakes Winner
Charged
to the lead turning for home and then cruised down the stretch
to win the Preakness on Saturday, still perfect and squarely
pointed toward thoroughbred racing's first Triple Crown in 30
years.
It might be the best horse this year in a middling field
of 3-year-olds. Or the colt could be remembered as one of the
greatest of all time. |
