The 145th Preakness Stakes: A Jewel to Remember


T e 145th Preakness Stakes will be run at the historic Pimlico Race Course on October 3, 2020. With the Triple Crown having been shaken up by COVID-19 this year, the Preakness will be the last race of the series instead of the middle jewel. All eyes will be on Belmont Stakes winner Tiz the Law as he runs in the Kentucky


Derby on September 5. In the Belmont Stakes on June 20, jockey Manny Franco took the


lead around the fi nal turn and pushed Tiz the Law to win by nearly four lengths. Trained by Barclay Tagg for owners Sackatoga Stable LLC, the bay gelding by Constitution and out of the Tiznow mare Tizfi z is looking good heading into the Derby after a runaway win of the Travers Stakes in August. He’s racked up $2.02 million in just fi ve stakes wins and has only lost once in six career starts. Where will you be watching the Derby and Preakness this year?
