What time does the Preakness Stakes start this year?
If you are planning on having a party for this year’s horse race you will definitely want to know what time does the Preakness Stakes start and end? Below we will answer that question. We already know that the “Run for the Black Eyed Susans” will take place on Saturday, May 21.
The Preakness Stakes will start at 6:47 p.m. ET. This start time is approximate, of course, as there are plenty of pre-race activities that can bump the beginning of the race back a little. Here are the Preakness start times for each time zone.
- Eastern Time Zone: 6:47 p.m.
- Central Time Zone: 5:47 p.m.
- Mountain Time Zone: 4:47 p.m.
- Pacific Time Zone: 3:47 p.m.
Then there is the matter of what time does the Preakness Stakes end? You can expect the race to last just below two minutes long. Rombauer, who won last year’s big race at Pimlico, finished with a time of 1 minute and 53 seconds. So expect the Preakness Stakes to end around 6:50 p.m. ET.
