The 149th Preakness Stakes takes place on Saturday from Pimlico Race Course. It’s the second leg of the Triple Crown and features a diverse field of contenders looking to dethrone Kentucky Derby champion Mystik Dan.

The Triple Crown of Thoroughbred Racing is readying for its second of three events with the Preakness Stakes taking place on Saturday. It will be the 149th running of the Preakness, making it one year younger than the Kentucky Derby, which just held its 150th edition two weeks prior.
