The Preakness Stakes, the second jewel of the elusive Triple Crown, is run between the Kentucky Derby and the Belmont Stakes. Called “The Run for the Black-Eyed Susans,” the Preakness is held at Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore on the third Saturday of each May. First run in 1873, the race is competed at a distance of 1 3/16 miles, 1/16 of a mile shorter than the Kentucky Derby, for 3-year-olds on the main dirt track. This year’s edition of the Preakness will be run on Saturday, May 19. After winning the Kentucky Derby and becoming the first horse since Apollo in 1882 to win “The Run for the Roses” while not having raced as a 2-year-old, Justify takes his next step towards a possible Triple Crown in Saturday’s Preakness. It won’t be easy, though, as Kentucky Derby runner-up Good Magic also makes the journey to Baltimore. This “2018 Preakness Guide presented by RacingDudes.com and Guaranteed Tip Sheet” will give you the information needed to hopefully make a nice return and a major score on the two big days at Pimlico, including Black-Eyed Susan Day on Friday, May 19!

He was the General Manager for four NBA teams, including the Philadelphia Sixers, the Washington Bullets, the New Jersey Nets, the Portland Trail Blazers, and a former Comcast broadcaster. Nash has been a fan of horse racing since he was young and was also a former high school classmate of Executive Director Michael Ballezzi. He has horses with trainer Phil Aristone and has been an owner/breeder himself since 1973. He won his first race at Garden State Park on Kentucky Derby Day 1973, the same day that Secretariat won the Kentucky Derby. He is still looking for his "big" horse, and now that he is retired, Nash is looking forward to devoting more of his time working for the horsemen at Parx. Nash now lives in Delaware with his wife and enjoys spending time with his children and grandchildren. As a new board member, his goals are to continue what the PTHA has started regarding caring for the horses of Parx Racing and the hardworking horsemen in terms of pension and health benefits, as he knows how vital they are to the horse racing industry.
