Episode two explores the Preakness Stakes at historic Pimlico Race Course, the crucial pivot point in the Triple Crown challenge. Host Marty Sinclair reveals why this middle jewel, run just two weeks after the Kentucky Derby, serves as the great revealer of championship mettle. Listeners discover Pimlico's unique character as "Old Hilltop," its distinctive traditions including the Black-Eyed Susan blanket, and why the track's tighter turns and shorter distance create tactical challenges vastly different from the Derby. The episode examines iconic Preakness moments that derailed Triple Crown bids and validated true champions, explaining how this race separates authentic contenders from horses who simply had one lucky day in Louisville.
