Black-Eyed Susan Stakes

The Black-Eyed Susan Stakes is a prestigious annual horse race held at Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore, Maryland, typically in May. It features top three-year-old fillies (young female horses) competing over a mile and an eighth (nine furlongs). Known as the “Filly Triple Crown” race, it is part of the broader series of races leading up to the Preakness Stakes. The event honors the black-eyed Susan flower, a symbol of Maryland, and attracts significant attention from racing enthusiasts, offering a rich history and a platform to showcase elite young thoroughbreds.
