What’s up with this Breeders’ Cup? In three words, World Championship racing! The relentless COVID-19 pandemic has imposed many changes in every aspect of life and racing was not spared. Fortunately, thoroughbred horse racing has stayed the course, though augmented. Most tracks were able to offer live racing at some point during the calendar year and we eventually experienced the thrill of each of the Triple Crown Races! Now, as we have done every year since 1984, it is time to witness and honor the best thoroughbred race horses in North America and the world as a whole!

Alas, the 145th Preakness Stakes is finally set to post this Saturday! The conventional second jewel but COVIDentional third jewel of the Triple Crown series will be raced at Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore, Maryland on October 3rd. While there won’t be a sweep this year, there is a sizeable field of talented thoroughbreds entered for this classic stakes race. Keeping with the unique differences the pandemic has created, one horse will not only carry the prestige of being the Preakness Stakes winner but for the first time ever, this winner will be granted an automatic berth into the $6 million dollar, Grade 1, Breeders’ Cup Longines Classic. Let’s keep learning about all of the unconventional awesomeness of this year’s Preakness!
