Preakness Stakes 2026 limita aforo a 4.800

El aforo para las Preakness Stakes 2026 en Laurel Park, Maryland, se limitará a 4.800 personas debido a renovaciones en curso. El evento, programado para el 16 de mayo, se traslada temporalmente de su sede tradicional en Pimlico, que está siendo reconstruida. Las entradas se ofrecerán en paquetes de dos días que incluyen las Black-Eyed Susan Stakes.

Las Preakness Stakes, un evento clave en las carreras de caballos estadounidenses, tendrán lugar el 16 de mayo de 2026 en Laurel Park, Maryland, su sede temporal mientras el Pimlico Race Course se somete a demolición y reconstrucción. La nueva estructura en Pimlico se espera que vuelva a acoger la carrera en 2027. Según 1/ST Racing and Gaming, la empresa organizadora, el aforo se limitará a 4.800 entradas, una restricción derivada de las renovaciones en Laurel Park, que se prepara para convertirse en un centro de entrenamiento durante todo el año. Las entradas saldrán a la venta el miércoles y se ofrecerán exclusivamente en paquetes de dos días que cubren las Black-Eyed Susan Stakes (G2) el viernes 15 de mayo y las Preakness el sábado. Entre las opciones, hay 1.000 entradas de acceso general a 246 dólares cada una. Otras categorías incluyen instalaciones temporales junto a la barandilla, suites de lujo cerca de la primera curva y el área de simulcast en la grada. Los paquetes Turfside Terrace cuestan 1.698 dólares, aunque 1/ST no ha revelado los precios de las suites de lujo. 1/ST Racing and Gaming retiene los derechos de las Preakness y Black-Eyed Susan Stakes hasta 2026, pero ha cedido su propiedad de Pimlico como parte de un acuerdo estatal, poniendo fin a su supervisión de las operaciones diarias de carreras en Maryland. Después de 2026, la empresa recibirá una tasa de licencia y una parte del total de apuestas de ambos días. 1/ST ha declinado especificar su gasto previsto para organizar el evento en Laurel, pero ha afirmado que el límite de aforo no debería impactar significativamente las acomodaciones para los jinetes.
