Horse racing excitement is set to continue on Saturday night when the second part of the Triple Crown launches at Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore, Maryland. The Preakness Stakes, also known as the annual run for the Black-Eyed Susans, comes just two weeks after the season kicked off with the Kentucky Derby.
The winner of that May 3 race, Sovereignty, will not be partaking in Saturday's race, eliminating the chance for a Triple-Crown winner this year. Still, excitement is high for this year's Preakness Stakes as nine horses are set to hit the track.
