Preakness Stakes Tickets Continued
The Preakness Stakes were introduced during Pimlico's first-ever spring race meet in 1872, two years before the Kentucky Derby was run for the first time. Governor Bowie had named the then mile and one-half (2.41 km) race in honor of Dinner Party Stakes-winner, Preakness, from the Preakness Stables, Wayne, New Jersey.
Set by Tank's Prospect in 1985 and equalled by Louis Quatorze in 1996, the speed record for the current 1 3/16 miles (1.91 km) Preakness is 1 minute 53 2/5 seconds.
