137th Preakness Stakes Today
If you're into horse racing, and even if you're not, there's something fascinating about the Triple Crown - Kentucky Derby, Preakness Stakes and Belmont Stakes. Today, it's the 137th running of the Preakness at historic Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore. Today's race is a mile and 3/16s.
I actually picked the Derby winner, "I'll Have Another" (great name for a horse, right?), and let's see if he can do it again in today's Preakness, post time: 6:18 p.m. Whether you like "I'll Have Another" or not, I know the Greg "Splashin'" McShea household always pulls for a Triple Crown Winner.
