From the moment the fillies break from the gate and settle into position around the dirt oval, Black-Eyed Susan Day delivers a distinct mix of speed, tradition, and celebration at Pimlico Race Course. Whether you’ve followed it for years or you’re planning your first one, Black Eyed Susan Stakes tickets put you inside one of Maryland’s signature race-weekend atmospheres.
This page covers everything you need — from understanding how Black Eyed Susan Stakes works to finding the right tickets and knowing what to expect when you arrive.
The Black Eyed Susan Stakes is an annual Grade 2 thoroughbred horse race held at Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore, Maryland, typically run in mid-May on the Friday immediately preceding the Preakness Stakes. Closely tied to Preakness weekend, Black-Eyed Susan Day has grown into a major occasion of its own, pairing a festive, fashion-forward crowd with a feature race that’s long been a fixture at Pimlico.
First held in 1919, the race is named for the black-eyed Susan, the state flower of Maryland—also famously associated with the floral blanket draped over the winner of the Preakness Stakes. Often described as a “fillies’ Preakness,” it’s a premier showcase for three-year-old fillies, offering a classic-style test at a distance that mirrors the kind of challenge top fillies face in major stakes competition.
On the Track, it’s a single flat dirt race at 1 1/8 miles (nine furlongs)—a fast, decisive contest that’s over in about two minutes, with no qualifying rounds. A win delivers a valuable graded-stakes title and the kind of black-type résumé boost that can elevate a filly’s season and long-term value. If you’re planning to attend Black Eyed Susan Stakes, browsing tickets early is the smartest move.
