When is 2025 Preakness Stakes 2025? Date, time for Triple Crown race at Pimlico
The 2025 Preakness Stakes, the second race in the Triple Crown, is less than 24 hours away. This historic event, first run in 1873, has seen many legendary horses and jockeys compete for the prestigious title of Middle Jewel.
There have been some surprising withdrawals from the Preakness Stakes, including the Kentucky Derby winner, Sovereignty, which has dashed all hopes for a Triple Crown winner. Another early favorite, Rodriguez (trained by Bob Baffert) has also withdrawn from the Preakness Stakes field due to a foot issue.
Despite the absence of those strong contenders, the field of nine will still include the runner-up to the Kentucky Derby, Journalism, who has emerged as the second favorite to claim the Preakness title behind Goal Oriented.
Here is how to watch the 2025 Preakness Stakes, which will take place on Saturday, May 17 at the Pimlico Race Course.
