Almost two weeks ago, the 148^th Kentucky Derby Presented by Woodford Reserve brought a sense of normalcy and high fan interest back to Thoroughbred racing, with TV ratings up from a pandemic-altered 2021 and attendance at Churchill Downs back at full capacity as well. The momentum should keep going into this upcoming weekend, when Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore, Md., hosts the 147^th Preakness Stakes on Saturday, May 21.

Kentucky Derby upset winner Rich Strike will not be present, but the Preakness does not lack for star power with Derby runner-up Epicenter and Longines Kentucky Oaks winner Secret Oath headlining a nine-horse field. The Preakness is the centerpiece event in a two-day sequence of premium entertainment at Pimlico that includes the Preakness Live! Culinary Arts and Music Festival on Friday, May 20 and the InfieldFest on Saturday.

The Preakness will be televised live on NBC to culminate a broadcast from 4 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. ET. The show will be hosted by Mike Tirico, with analysis from Randy Moss and Jerry Bailey, handicapping from Matt Bernier, and reporting from Donna Barton Brothers, Britney Eurton, and others. Undercard races from Pimlico will be shown on CNBC from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. ET. For the first time, NBC Sports’ Preakness coverage will also be livestreamed on its Peacock service. Post time for Preakness 147 is 7:01 p.m. ET.

NBC Sports will also televise the George E. Mitchell Black-Eyed Susan Stakes from Pimlico on Friday, May 20, during a show from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m. ET on the USA Network.
