The wrecking ball is just about hovering over Pimlico Race Course, with a complete knockdown and rebuild of the grandstand and other facilities coming.

The old Pimlico — some writers have called it America’s worst major sporting event venue — will take its final bow at the 2025 Preakness.

BALTIMORE (AP) — The wrecking ball is just about hovering over Pimlico Race Course, with a complete knockdown and rebuild of the grandstand and other facilities coming. But first comes the 150th running of the Preakness Stakes. Without Kentucky Derby ...

The 150th running of the Preakness Stakes takes place Saturday at Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore, with a lineup consisting of three Kentucky Derby runners-up and a remaining field of unknown entities and potential surprise winners.

When the horses break from the starting gate for the May 17 Preakness Stakes (G1) at Pimlico Race Course there won't be more than nine runners. That's becoming a trend that hasn't been matched for the race in more than 30 years.

The second jewel of the Triple Crown shines with traditions. Don't miss the 2025 Preakness Stakes, this Saturday, May 17, at 2:30 PM ET on Peacock.

Preakness 150 will be the last time the annual horse race will be held with the existing structures in place before the track is rebuilt on the same site.
