The United States horseracing circuit features three main
events, known collectively as the 'Triple Crown'. Baltimore's
Preakness Stakes is one of these (the others being the Kentucky
Derby and Belmont Stakes). So important is this race on the city's
annual calendar that the event has now become the culmination of a
week or more of festivities which make up Preakness Celebration in
May each year. Events include hot air ascensions, block parties,
parades, fun runs and a sailpast of tall ships. Event Date: 19 May 2012 Venue: Pimlico Race Course Website:www.preakness.com
