Notable Preakness Stakes Winners
Some rivalries have emerged from races leading up to the Triple Crown and ultimately in Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes duels.
Duels which include 2016, when Nyquist won the Kentucky Derby just ahead of Exaggerator. Then Exaggerator would turn the tables on Nyquist to splash home to victory on a sloppy Pimlico track. Or when Sunday Silence and Easy Goer engaged in one of the greatest and most memorable stretch runs in Preakness history. Sunday Silence won the 1989 Preakness Stakes by a nose over Easy Goer after also beating him in the Derby by just over 2 lengths. However, Easy Goer would win the Belmont Stakes and prevent Sunday Silence from winning the Triple Crown.
The last several editions of the Preakness have showcased various superstar performances and prolonged the Triple Crown dreams of several of its winners.
Kentucky Derby winners Big Brown (2008), I’ll Have Another (2012), and California Chrome (2014) all kept their Triple Crown dreams alive when repeating two weeks later in the Baltimore, Maryland classic. American Pharoah (2015) and Justify (2018) did as well, and then succeeded where the others failed, by sweeping the Triple Crown in a Belmont Stakes victory three weeks later.
Other notable Preakness winners and events include filly Swiss Skydiver beating the boys in 2020 (first filly to win since Rachel Alexandra in 2009 and Nellie Morse in 2024), and Derby winner Barbaro tragically breaking down in the Preakness during the 2006 race. In 2019, the Preakness weekend garnered $99.85 million in all-sources wagering. 2019 also boasted record crowds of 131,256 in attendance.
