Preakness Stakes

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.

The 136th running of the Preakness Stakes takes place today, post time 6:20pm. I just checked the weather forecast for Baltimore, Maryland, home of Pimlico Race Course, and it looks like a great day for horse racing. The forecast calls for partly sunny conditions, high about 83, cooling down to 68 degrees by early evening. So, looks like the mudders have no real advantage.
