Due to the coronavirus pandemic, the 2020 Triple Crown racing schedule was completely changed from the order we’re all used to.
The first race to be run was the Belmont Stakes. The next — which is usually first — will be the 2020 Kentucky Derby, which will be run on September 5th.
And the last jewel will be the race that would normally be run as the second of the three in the Triple Crown: the Preakness.
The competition traditionally was held in the third Saturday in May — it was originally scheduled for Saturday, May 16, 2020 — at Pimlico Race Course, but here’s the info you need for the 2020 edition.
When is the 2020 Preakness?
It’s on Saturday, October 3.
Will fans be allowed in?
That hasn’t been announced yet. But we do know that InfieldFest 2020 was canceled.
Who might be racing in it?
That also will be announced at a later date, but you’d figure Tiz the Law — who won the 2020 Belmont Stakes — could be in it if he’s in the running for a Triple Crown. Of course, that would require him to win the 2020 Kentucky Derby.
