When is the Preakness Stakes? Where is the Preakness Stakes? What time is the Preakness Stakes? The 2025 Preakness Stakes will take place on Saturday at 7:01 p.m. ET at Pimlico Race Course.

This will be the final horse race at the track ahead of demolition and a major reconstruction project, which will impact Pimlico and the surrounding Park Heights neighborhood.

Just three horses who ran in the Kentucky Derby will run in the Preakness on Saturday -- Journalism, who finished second to Sovereignty, American Promise (16th) and Sandman (7th). Nine horses will enter the race, including several newcomers to the Triple Crown trail.
