Preakness Preview

Fri, 05/18/2007 - 05:17

The Preakness Stakes is set to start at 6:15pm on May 19, 2007. Shadows of Barbaro, last year’s Kentucky Derby winner, still shroud the track at Pimlico in Baltimore, Maryland. It was this time last year that the undefeated Barbaro shattered his leg in three places after false starting. The thoroughbred was euthanized earlier this year, after several attempted surgeries proved to be futile. In his honor, Pimlico will be launching the Barbaro Stakes this May.
