The Preakness serves as the middle leg of the American Triple Crown and represents Maryland's biggest day of Thoroughbred racing. The 1 3/16-mile contest for three-year-olds takes place at Pimlico on the third Saturday in May, two weeks after the Kentucky Derby, and 2015 will mark the 140th edition of the highly-valued stakes race.
It's the shortest of the Triple Crown events, a sixteenth of a mile less than the 1 1/4-mile Kentucky Derby, and is followed by the 1 1/2-mile Belmont Stakes three weeks later.
The winning connections receive a replica of the Woodlawn Vase, which was created by Tiffany and Co. and first awarded in 1860. Valued in excess of $1 million, the silver Woodlawn Vase is recognized as the most valuable trophy in American sports.
The Preakness is dubbed "The People’s Race…The People's Party."
