There have been many memorable moments in the history of the Preakness Stakes, one of the most prestigious horse races in the world. Here are a few highlights: 1. Secretariat's incredible victory in 1973: Secretariat won the race in a record-breaking time of 1:53. But it was the way he did it that was truly unforgettable - he pulled far ahead of the rest of the pack and won by an astonishing 2 ½ lengths. 2. Afleet Alex's dramatic comeback in 2005: After a collision with another horse, Afleet Alex stumbled and nearly fell. But he somehow managed to regain his footing and went on to win the race. 3. Barbaro's tragic injury in 2006: Barbaro was a heavy favorite going into the race, but suffered a devastating injury mid-race. While he was able to undergo surgery and recover for several months, he ultimately had to be put down due to complications. 4. American Pharoah's historic Triple Crown win in 2015: American Pharoah became the first horse in 37 years to win the Triple Crown - a feat that had eluded many horses in the past. His dominant performances in the Kentucky Derby, Preakness Stakes, and Belmont Stakes solidified his place in racing history.
