May 21, 2011
Pimlico Racecourse
Baltimore, Maryland

The eyes of the racing world shift from Churchill Downs to Pimlico Race Course as the Triple Crown players set their sights on Baltimore for the 2011 Preakness Stakes on May 21st.

The Preakness Stakes is a Grade 1 stakes race for three-year-old thoroughbred horses, run at a classic distance of

1 3/16 miles (9.75 furlongs; 1.91 km) on a dirt track. Colts and geldings carry 126 pounds (57 kg), while fillies carry 121 pounds (55 kg).

Fans love the turf races because they attract larger fields of horses, which makes the outcome for the bettors more interesting. The Preakness has had some memorable horse race winners with great photo finishes. Who could ever forget horses like Northern Dancer, Secretariat, Seattle Slew, Affirmed, Tabasco Cat, or Smarty Jones.

Pillico has two race courses:
Main Track: One Mile, oval.
Turf Course: Seven Furlongs

Pimlico by the numbers:
Main Track: 1 mile loam oval
Turf Course: 7/8 of a mile inside main track

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.
