For all of the wet weather and gloomy skies at Pimlico Race Course this week, the winds of change have been swirling in Maryland for much longer than a week or even a year.

The old Pimlico — some writers have called it America’s worst major sporting event venue — will take its final bow at the 2025 Preakness.

The 150th running of the Preakness Stakes takes place Saturday at Pimlico Race Course and features three horses fresh off of runner-up spots in the Kentucky Derby, including Journalism, who is the clear favorite to leave Baltimore with a victory in the second leg of the Triple Crown.

The wrecking ball is just about hovering over Pimlico Race Course, with a complete knockdown and rebuild of the grandstand and other facilities coming.

It might be the homeliest venue anywhere hosting a major sporting event. But there's much to love about Pimlico.

The second jewel of the Triple Crown shines with traditions. Don't miss the 2025 Preakness Stakes, this Saturday, May 17, at 2:30 PM ET on Peacock.

Preakness 150 will be the last time the annual horse race will be held with the existing structures in place before the track is rebuilt on the same site.
