Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore, Maryland is the site of the Preakness Stakes, the second race in the Triple Crown of Thoroughbred Racing, also called the Triple Crown, and is held the third Saturday each May.
The race is termed “The Run for the Black-Eyed Susans” after the state flower, however as Black-Eyed Susans do not bloom until June, none have actually ever been used in the blanket of flowers draped over the winner. Instead, Viking daisies, with the centers daubed with black lacquer, are used to create the flowers used to resemble Black-Eyed Susans.
In 1998, the traditional drink of the Belmont Stakes, the third and final race in the Triple Crown of Thoroughbred Racing, was changed to the Belmont Breeze:
