Preakness Triple Crown's second leg losing relevance with quick turnaround after Derby
2024 Kentucky Derby: 150th Anniversary and Details
The 150th Kentucky Derby, "The Greatest Two Minutes in Sports," will take place on May 4th, 2024, at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky. The Derby is the 12th race of the day, with an official post time of 6:57 pm EST.
The Preakness Stakes, the second leg of the Triple Crown, has been losing relevance due to its quick turnaround after the Derby. The 150th Kentucky Derby will be the first to feature a Friday-to-Saturday turnaround for the Preakness. This short timeframe makes it challenging for horses and connections to recover and prepare for the next race.
