The 2026 Preakness Stakes will be run at Laurel Park on Saturday, May 16 in the great state of Maryland. Normally run at Pimlico Race Course, also in Maryland, the second leg of the Triple Crown series for three-year-old Thoroughbreds was relocated this year as Old Hilltop (Pimlico) is currently undergoing a major renovation.
The 151st running of the Preakness Stakes will be a part of the biggest day in Maryland racing for 2026. Overall, there will be nine Stakes races among the fourteen races on the card with horses from all over the country making there way to this oval on the eastern seaboard. Over the years, the Preakness party has become legendary as horses run at immortality and people come to celebrate the sport in fine fashion. This edition will have a noticeable absence among the entrants as Kentucky Derby champion Golden Tempo and second place finisher Renegade have both decided to skip the festivities and prepare for the Belmont Stakes at Saratoga. Given that only three horses (Ocelli, Incredibolt, Robusta) that competed in the opening leg of the Triple Crown are entered, others looking for grade 1 glory have turned out in full force. A full field of fourteen entrants will line up with a chance to etch their names into horse racing history. The Preakness Party is set to begin early as post time for the first race is scheduled for 10:30 am. Among the nine Stakes races, four of them are slated to be run on grass. Featuring a purse of $2 million and plenty of prestige to the winner, Preakness 2026 promises to be a highly competitive celebration of the sport of Thoroughbred racing.
