Preakness, Pimlico left out of new race series by Churchill Downs, Belmont - Maryland Matters
(AI says:)
Shift in the National Racing Landscape
The announcement of the Thoroughbred Championship Series by Churchill Downs and the New York Racing Association has added a layer of complexity. This new six-race championship series includes the Kentucky Derby and the Belmont Stakes but conspicuously excludes the Preakness Stakes.
Despite being left out of this new series, Maryland state leadership remains entirely committed to maintaining and running the Preakness as an independent crown jewel at Pimlico. Governor Wes Moore and the Maryland Jockey Club are scheduled to announce official date changes and logistical updates regarding the 2027 Preakness schedule.
