The 135th running of the $1,000,000 Preakness Stakes, the middle jewel of the Triple Crown, is set for May 15, 2010 at Pimlico Race Course.

The eyes of the racing word shift from Churchill Downs to Pimlico Race Course as the Visa Triple Crown players set their sights on Baltimore for the 135th running of the Preakness Stakes.

On May 23, 1873 the first edition of the Preakness took place becoming now one of the most famous horse race around the United States.  Now is the second most important race of the Triple Crown Race competition. Is usually celebrated two weeks after the Kentucky Derby and this time the date is May the 16th and the purse is around $2,000,000.

The Preakness was founded by Maryland governor Oden Bowie, who named the then mile and one-half race in honor of the colt named “Preakness” from Milton Holbrook in New Jersey. That horse deserved the honor to have the race on its name because it won the Dinner Party Stakes on the day Pimlico Race Course opened on October 25, 1870.

There is around 150000 people attending the race that day and since is one of the most favorite ones in the United States, there are lots of advertisement going around about that important date for the horse competitions. One of the most interesting details about this 134th edition of the race is that the winner of the Kentucky Derby: “Mine That Bird”, is going to run this time with a really high favorite odd to win the race. What is amazing is the energy that the horse had back last week at Churchill Downs and every body is expecting the same power rush this time.
