The 2009 Preakness Stakes was the 134th running of the Preakness Stakes, the second leg of horse racing's Triple Crown. The value of the race was $1,100,000 in stakes.[1] The race was sponsored by BlackBerry and hence officially was called BlackBerry Preakness Stakes.[1] The race took place on May 16, 2009. Post time was 6:19 p.m. EDT and was televised in the United States on the NBC television networks.
The Maryland Jockey Club reported total attendance of 77,850, this is recorded as third highest on the list of American thoroughbred racing top attended events for North America in 2009.[2]
Rachel Alexandra won by a length, holding off the rapidly closing 2009 Kentucky Derby winner Mine That Bird to become the first filly since 1924 to win the Preakness Stakes,[2] and to extend horse racing's longest losing streak to 31 years since Affirmed became the last Triple Crown winner in 1978.
