Overview

  • Margie’s Intention, trained by Brad Cox and ridden by Flavien Prat, won the $300,000 Black-Eyed Susan Stakes with a time of 1:52.05.
  • Severe thunderstorms and a tornado warning delayed the race by over an hour, with the track rated as 'sloppy' due to heavy rainfall.
  • The three-year-old filly executed a late charge to overtake Paris Lily, marking her first victory outside her home state of Louisiana.
  • Pimlico officials evacuated the grandstands and canceled the final race of the day due to ongoing storms and the lack of track lighting.
  • The Black-Eyed Susan Stakes, a Grade 2 race for three-year-old fillies, is a key feature of the Preakness undercard with a rich history dating back to 1919.
