Awful Announcing
Credit: Tommy Gilligan-Imagn ImagesThe Preakness Stakes is moving back one week in a major attempt to preserve the relevance of horse racing’s traditional Triple Crown.
The Maryland Jockey Club announced that the Preakness will move back eight days, while the Black-Eyed Susan Stakes will also be pushed back eight days and will be run on Saturday.
The move will push the Preakness to three weeks after the Kentucky Derby, beginning in 2027.
“The Maryland Jockey Club is thrilled to continue its long-standing partnership with NBC Sports for the Preakness Stakes.
That announcement, which includes the Kentucky Derby and Belmont Stakes, excluded the Preakness.
