What Are the Stakes for Preakness?For the 149th time this year, the Preakness Stakes, the second race in the Triple Crown series, will take place. Every year, the victor is covered in a yellow floral blanket, and following the race, Pimlico’s weather vane is painted in the winner’s silk colors. Compared to the Kentucky Derby, which begins each year with 20 horses, the field is somewhat smaller. There are just eight horses entered in the Preakness this year. The Preakness Stakes is open to both male and female horses, but only those that are three years old are allowed to race. The Preakness Stakes was won in 2020 by the filly Swiss Skydiver, and in 2009 by Rachel Alexandra.
