Preakness Stakes traditions: Drinks, fashion, flowers, Black-eyed Susan cocktail and blanket, trophy
Horse racing's finest are back in Baltimore, Md., for the 150th Preakness Stakes. Every third Saturday in May (with a few exceptions), people flock to Pimlico Race Course to take in the sights and sounds of the second jewel of the Triple Crown, steeped in its own flair and unique traditions. Here's what you need to know about the customs of the Preakness Stakes, from a signature cocktail to bold fashion. Catch these traditions and an exciting day of horse racing on Saturday, May 17, with live coverage beginning at 2:30 PM ET on CNBC and continuing on NBC, starting at 4:00 PM ET. You can also live stream every moment of the action on Peacock. What do you wear to the Preakness? The Preakness is a time to dress up in bright colors. Men and women show off in vibrant pastels, often highlighted with black to pay homage to the Black-eyed Susan, the official state flower of Maryland. You will also see a wide array of elaborate hats that rival those at the Kentucky Derby.

Mandatory Credit: Mitch Stringer-USA TODAY Sports Mitch Stringer/Mitch Stringer-USA TODAY Sports What flower is associated with Preakness? Maryland's state flower, the Black-eyed Susan, is often worn and referenced at the Preakness Stakes. A blanket of the yellow-petaled blossoms has been awarded to the winner of the Preakness since 1940, when it was established as the official flower of the event. However, because the Black-eyed Susan usually blooms in June, the blanket is made of Viking Poms for the race winner. Thousands of flowers make up the final product (seen above on last year's winner, Seize the Grey). What are the traditions of the Preakness? Aside from the blanket of Black-eyed Susans, the Preakness has a few other traditions that set it apart from the other races of the Triple Crown. Since 1909, the horse and rider weather vane at the top of the Old Clubhouse replica has been painted the color of the winning jockey's silks right after the race. It stays those colors until the following year. The Woodlawn Vase is also presented to the winning owner of the Preakness Stakes every year. In 1983, it was valued at $1 million, making it the most valuable trophy in United States sports. While the real trophy is brought to and awarded at Pimlico every year, the winning owner keeps a $30,000 replica. Until the Preakness, the Woodlawn Vase is displayed at the Baltimore Museum of Art.

Daughter of legendary jockey flies to US in chase to win ‘world's most expensive trophy' with its own armed guard
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) SAFFIE OSBORNE - the daughter of legendary jockey and trainer Jamie Osborne - will fly to the US in the chase to win the 'world's most expensive trophy'. Osborne confirmed Saffie will ride their stable star Heart Of Honour in next Saturday's Preakness Stakes.

Tiffany and Co listed the trophy as officially priceless - while a valuation for insurance purposes said it was worth an amazing £3million. The Woodlawn Vase lives in its own protective case throughout the year, until it is transported to Pimlico Racecourse in Baltimore, Maryland, by its own squad of armed guards on raceday. The 30lb trophy stands 36 inches high and is constructed entirely of solid sterling silver. It is so sought-after that even the winner of the race only gets a £30,000 replica. The original Woodlawn Vase - which some dispute is actually second on the rich list behind the World Cup - remains behind a screen as the winning trainer hoists the smaller mini-me, which they get to keep forever. Osborne, 57, who was leading jockey at the 1992 Cheltenham Festival, has his sights set on glory with their globe-trotting Heart Of Honour. And he is relying on talented daughter Saffie - who made history by becoming the first woman jockey ever to ride a winner at Meydan in Dubai after previously being subjected to vile death threats - to get the job done. Saffie, who has overcome some horrendous injuries in the saddle, and Heart Of Honour came close to a £500,000 payday in the UAE Derby last month. The 3-1 joint-fav was nutted right on the line by a nose to 11-1 Admire Daytona in the money-spinning Grade 2. Prior to that, the three-year-old colt was beaten just a head in a Listed Meydan race worth £100,000 to the winner. Heart Of Honour has amassed prize money earnings of more than £270,000 from just six career runs. Not bad at all for a horse who finished second on his debut at Southwell in October last year having been sent off 22-1. Speaking of his decision to send Heart Of Honour to the States, Osborne said: "We thought this was worth a shot. "He's only three once. There's nothing in the UK for him. "So, the alternative was to give him a break, a long-extended break, and wait for next year's Middle East season when we go back to Dubai. "The Kentucky Derby was clearly going to be too soon for him. "Logistically, it was going to be nearly impossible to ship from Dubai back here and then to America. "The extra couple of weeks will probably be to our benefit, as well. "We're going to have a go, and if he runs OK in the Preakness, the aim is to hang on for another three weeks and go to Saratoga. "I think this horse, in what he's achieved so far, has to step up, but I think there's a chance that he can step up. "He's a horse that seems to be maturing and coming around this time of year." Victory would be a monumental family achievement for the Osbornes. Saffie has carried the family name with total class during her years as a top performer on the Flat. A true globe-trotting star, she's won multiple times at Group level, including most recently in Doha aboard fan favourite Emaraaty Ana.
