Ahead of the 2023 Preakness Stakes on Saturday, the Black-Eyed Susan Stakes will see some of the best three-year-old fillies race at Pimlico Race Course on Friday, May 19. Post time is set for 5:44 p.m. ET, and the broadcast will be available to watch on Peacock.
Each Triple Crown race has a Friday counterpart for fillies — the Kentucky Derby has the Kentucky Oaks, and the Belmont Stakes has the Acorn Stakes. The race dates back to 1919 and has a winners’ purse of $250,000.
The undefeated Bob Baffert-trained Faiza is the favorite to win with 8-5 odds. Kentucky Oaks winner Pretty Mischievous will not join the 12-horse field at Pimlico.
