The 2026 Black-Eyed Susan Stakes headlines a high-stakes Friday card at Laurel Park, serving as the premier event for 3-year-old fillies and the traditional kickoff to Preakness weekend.
Now in its 102nd running, the Grade 2 race remains a vital tradition, often acting as a proving ground for the sport’s most elite young fillies.
Due to the ongoing $400 million reconstruction of Pimlico Race Course, the entire Preakness weekend has shifted to Laurel Park for this year’s running.
While the venue has changed, the significance of the race hasn’t; it offers a chance for the winner to be draped in the iconic blanket of yellow flowers.
Here is everything you need to know to catch the action this Friday.
