2000 Preakness Stakes

Six members of Kids to the Cup traveled to Baltimore, Maryland to see the Black Eyed Susan and Preakness Stakes and to join in the fun of the second jewel in racings' Triple Crown.

Members spoke with horsemen D. Wayne Lukas, Marty Jones, Hal Rose, Neil Drysdale, Bob Baffert and Kent Desormeaux, and were escorted by the Kentucky Derby-winning jockey into a pre-Preakness celebration in the Baltimore Harbor aboard the historic ship, Constellation.

Back at the Pimlico stakes barn following the race, the group experienced a priceless photo op with impressive winner Red Bullet.

An informal group poll produced the following responses:

Favorite Winning Horses – Jostle, Roza Robata, Dreams Supreme

Least Favorite Winning Horses
Red Bullet (wanted FuPeg to win)
None of them, they all earned it.
