The Preakness Stakes - All the glamour, prestige, and
huge hats you'll ever need will all be at Pimlico Race
Course in Baltimore, Maryland this May. The 1 3/16 mile
(1.91 km) race is the second and shortest event in the
famous Triple Crown Horse race.
Preakness Stakes Trophy and Track History
The original Woodlawn Vase, the trophy awarded to the
winner of the Preakness Stakes trophy (but not meant to
be kept), measures 34 inches in height and weighs 29
pounds, 12 ounces, was created by Tiffany and Company in
1860 for R. Aitcheson Alexander and remains in the
Baltimore Museum of Art. A half-sized reproduction of
the Woodlawn Vase is now awarded to the owner of the
Preakness winner on a permanent basis.
Rumor has it that the Woodlawn Vase spent the Civil War
years buried to avoid being stolen or used for its
valuable metal properties by Union and Confederate
soldiers. Come bet on the Preakness Stakes at Pimlico racetrack
and watch your favorite horse win at the Preakness. The
second of the prestigious Triple Crown races, the 132nd
Preakness Stakes will continue its legacy as one of the
word's finest horse races. But the early odds are hard
to come by, so stop horsing around and get your
Preakness stakes horse betting lines at

The Preakness Stakes horse betting has been a part of
the horse racing since, the gates opened for its first
race, all the way back in the year 1873. Three-year-old
thoroughbreds have been making the journey to Maryland
for the Preakness Stakes on the third Saturday in May
annually ever since Survivor won the pot in the first
race. The Preakness Stakes has seen prize money
skyrocket as fast as the attendance in recent years.

for a day and bet Pimlico horse track for one of the
most prestigious horse races of the year. Picking a pony
to wager on always makes things a bit more interesting.

drawn into the excitement as the horses round the turn
and come down the stretch. See if the pony you picked
will be wearing the famous black eyed Susans. |
