2013 Preakness Stakes Tickets

Borel and his super steed wanted that Preakness Stakes championship, but that is not what the outcome was. A truly amazing Preakness Stakes it was, Lookin At Lucky busted through the gates and won the race victoriously. Super Saver ended up in 8th and that just went on to prove that absolutely anything can happen at the Preakness Stakes. And the 2011 Preakness Stakes will be just as threatening. Preakness Stakes tickets just became a lot more precious so make sure you are at Pimlico Racecourse in Baltimore, Maryland on May 21!

The Triple Crown is a wonderful thing, and if you care about horses and thoroughred racing, you will be there to see history being made.

As a jewel in America's Triple Crown of horse-racing, Preakness has an elegance and resilience others simply lack. The gathering enters its 136th year in 2011, and the annual new logo has been unveiled, an art deco testament to the ways in which Preakness has adapted over the years but has remained a huge draw. The logo will be familiar to anyone who cares to buy Preakness Stakes tickets, a depiction of a horse, a jockey, and a black-eyed Susan flower. Preakness Stakes tickets are always in style, and last year's incredible race and large attendance numbers only means that 2011 Preakness Stakes tickets will sell like crazy.

Preakness Tickets to Pimlico Race Course

Pimlico is one of our greatest equestrian treasures, boasting enough stable room for 1,000 horses, and a human capacity of 120,000. The course also has facilities capable of holding rock concerts as well as race meets, including the Virgin Festival. But of course, the horses are what make Preakness tick. Sadly, it was during the Preakness Stakes that the thoroughbred Barbaro suffered the injury that led to his euthanization in late January, 2007. Barbaro will be honored by a commemorative site at Churchill Downs this year, but many other thoroughbreds remain to compete in the Preakness Stakes, and when you buy Preakness Stakes tickets you won't be let down.
