Preakness has been around in Baltimore since 1870, with the opening of the Historic Pimlico Race Course. This course has survived through a hiatus, a 1910 anti-gambling movement, and the great depression, standing today as the first track to have an electric starting gate in the country. This race is most famous for being the second out of the three races of the triple crown.
This year, you can enjoy all the festivities of Preakness on May 17th and 18th. Tickets are available now for Black Eyed Susan Day, Preakness 149, and Preakness Live. Drinks will be available at every level, and performing at Preakness Live this year will be Jack Harlow, Channel Tres, and more. Grab a seat for the event anywhere from the suites to the clubhouse to the turfside terrace. Each location has its own benefits, so don’t wait before checking it out and buying a seat!
If you don’t wish to attend the live event itself but still wish to watch, then check out Preakness Weekend on Point! Drink specials will be available for the event, which will be playing on several of their screens. This will be a great opportunity to bond with the community and enjoy some delicious food. The event starts at 10 in the morning, so head over whenever you can!
