The fourth annual America's Best Racing Pre-Preakness Party sponsored by Sagamore Racing will be held on May 17, and tickets are available now. Join us at Mt. Washington Tavern in Baltimore for an unforgettable evening of food, drinks and mingling with racing personalities ahead of the second jewel of the Triple Crown, the Preakness Stakes at Pimlico.

A charity silent auction at the party will benefit the Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance and feature an array of racing items, including a Silver Charm halter provided by Old Friends Farm in celebration of the 20-year anniversary of the legendary horse’s triumph in the 1997 Preakness Stakes.

The event is Baltimore's biggest open-to-the-public Preakness kickoff party. Tickets for the event, which begins immediately following the post-position draw for the 142^nd running of the Preakness Stakes, are on sale on Eventbrite for $10. A $10 ticket gets you one drink, light bar snacks and entry into a drawing for a door prize of two passes to the Preakness Stakes on Saturday, May 20, 2017, at Pimlico.
