Preakness Stakes fun facts

black eyed susan, Maryland's state flower• The Preakness is named after the horse who won the first stakes ever run in Pimlico when its doors first opened on May 27, 1873.

• The Preakness Stakes is sometimes dubbed "The Run for the Black-Eyed Susans" because a blanket of Viking daisies, decorated to look like Black-eyed Susans, is traditionally placed around the winner's neck. Actual Black-eyed Susans -- the state flower of Maryland -- are not in season during the Preakness.

• The official drink of the Preakness Stakes is the Black Eyed Susan cocktail made with orange juice and vodka.

• The Friday before the Preakness is Black-Eyed Susan Day at Pimlico, where a party atmosphere prevails, including the running of the Black-Eyed Susan Stakes for 3-year-old fillies and appearances by notable female jockeys.

• While pre-race celebrations in Baltimore last for days, the actual Preakness Stakes race lasts an average 2 1/2 minutes.
