It's Preakness Time!
After a successful Kentucky Derby on May 6th, the second jewel of the Triple Crown, The Preakness Stakes, will be taking place this weekend at Pimlico, Baltimore.
It is not necessary to prove that the Triple Crown is the most elusive prize in sports. It has been 27 years since Affirmed, the latest of only eleven Thoroughbreds in history, achieved the prestigious feat in 1978. There have only been three Triple Crown winners since Citation in 1948.
There was one spell, a quarter of a century, from Citation in 1948 until 1973, that brought talk of tinkering with the scheduling or devising some sort of relief to make the Triple Crown more accessible because it seemed it would never again be won. Then Secretariat came along and romped through the Derby, Preakness and Belmont in 1973.
When Funny Cide lost the potential Triple Crown at the 2003 Belmont Stakes, a new time elapsed record was set. Six times in the last eight years a horse has gone to New York with a chance at a $5 million dollar bonus only to falter in the "Test of a Champion".
The intriguing series of spring races is over 125 years old with the prize becoming available in 1875, with the first running of the Kentucky Derby, the last of the Triple Crown events to be introduced. The Preakness dates back to 1873, while the Belmont Stakes began in 1867.
