Preakness Tickets
Get your Preakness Stakes tickets from TicketSmarter to see the second jewel of the Triple Crown at the Pimlico Race Course! The Preakness is a Grade I race featuring 3-year-old thoroughbred colts, geldings, and fillies. The winner of the inaugural event in 1873 was Survivor, which held the record for the largest winning margin until 2004. The first horse that won the Preakness Stakes on the way to the Triple Crown was Sir Barton and the most recent winner being Justify. In total, only 13 horses have swept the Triple Crown. Five fillies have won the Preakness including Rachel Alexandra in 2009.
The first running of the race was in 1873 and has been held annually since then with a 3-year break between 1891 and 1893. The race record at 1 minute and 53 seconds was set by Secretariat in 1973. The race is commonly known by the nickname “The Run for the Black-Eyed Susans,” which stems from the blanket of flowers that is placed in front of the winning horse. Preakness Stakes tickets are a hot commodity as the race is one of the highest attended horse races in the United States, second only to the Kentucky Derby. As the official Preakness Stakes ticket resale marketplace, TicketSmarter is proud to offer premium seating options for the equestrian event.
