Before we get to the Preakness Stakes schedule, there’s the first day of the meet. Most of the betting interest on this card involves Black Eyed Susan picks as it is the feature race. Supporting that Grade II race for three-year-old fillies over the same distance as the Preakness are three Grade III events.
These are as follows. First, the Miss Preakness Stakes is a sprint contest with the same age and sex restrictions as the Black Eyed Susan Stakes. The Hilltop Stakes, meanwhile, is a turf race over a mile for three-year-old fillies. Finally, the last of the Grade III races is the Pimlico Special Stakes on dirt over an 9.5 furlongs and open to older horses.
Earlier on the supporting card is a Listed event for fillies and mares, the Allaire Dupont Distaff Stakes. This contest is also run over Preakness and Black Eyed Susan course and distance. A conditions turf sprint, The Very One Stakes, is yet another females only event at Pimlico on this date. Here is the Friday Preakness Stakes schedule in full:
