Preakness Stakes Rescheduled for October

The 145th Preakness Stakes has been rescheduled for October 3. The race was postponed April 3 because of the coronavirus pandemic. There were no patrons in the Pimlico grandstand or infield. Last year the race drew 131,256 fans and took in a track-record handle of $99,852,653. The Kentucky Derby was switched to Sept. 5 from May 2, and the New York Racing Association is trying to determine the best date for the Belmont Stake. InfieldFest 2020 has already been canceled.
