The 145th Preakness Stakes has been rescheduled for October 3rd.  

The second leg of the Triple Crown is normally held on the third Saturday in May at Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore.  But due to the coronavirus outbreak it was postponed.

Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan announced that the Preakness will now be held on October 3rd… one month after the Kentucky Derby which is now being held September 5th.
