The second leg of the Triple Crown is set to get underway from Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore, and Sporting News has you covered on the best ways to watch it.
The 2021 Preakness Stakes, termed “The Run for the Black-eyed Susans,” will feature even more intrigue in 2021, as Medina Spirit, which tested positive for betamethasone after winning the Kentucky Derby, was cleared to race on Friday.

That’s where SN comes in. We have you covered on how to watch the 2021 Preakness Stakes, either through cable or streaming options.
