Black Eyed Susan Stakes History
The Black-Eyed Susan Stakes is a prestigious horse racing event held annually at Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore, Maryland. Established in 1919, it was named in honor of the Black-Eyed Susan, Maryland's state flower. Originally designed as a race for three-year-old fillies, the Black-Eyed Susan Stakes has become a significant part of the thoroughbred racing calendar, often positioned as a precursor to the Preakness Stakes, which is now part of the Triple Crown series. Over the years, this race has evolved in terms of its prominence and prize money, attracting a wide array of talented female racehorses and showcasing future stars of the sport. Notable champions of this race include the likes of Miss Moneypenny, who won in 2000, and Ashado, a multiple stakes winner in 2004. The event has served as a platform for many fillies, launching their careers and contributing to the rich history of horse racing in the United States. Additionally, the Black-Eyed Susan Stakes has become a focal point of the Preakness weekend festivities, drawing in a lively crowd that indulges in both the sport and the celebrated tradition surrounding it.
