For a race that has 148 years of history behind it, the Preakness Stakes is an incredibly modern event.

The sport of horse racing celebrated the 150th anniversary of the Kentucky Derby Presented by Woodford Reserve May 4, 2024, at Churchill Downs. Fans came out en force for the famed run for the roses, many decked out with outfits to celebrate the marquee race’s milestone.
