War of Will’s 2019 winning time was the fastest winning time since Curlin’s win in 2007. War of Will won the Preakness with a time of 1:54.34. But in 2020, that was bested by Swiss Skydiver’s winning time of 1:53.28, the fastest winning time at the Preakness since all the way back in 1973 when Secretariat won with a time of 1:53.00.
Trainers with the Most Preakness Stakes Wins
Will 2020 be the year that Bob Baffert passes R. Wyndham Walden? The Arizona-born trainer has compiled over 2,800 career wins, including five Preakness Stakes titles from 1997 to 2018.
In 2020, Kenneth McPeek was a first-time winner with Swiss Skydiver.
Jockeys with the Most Preakness Stakes Wins
Eddie Arcaro won more American classic races than any other jockey in history and finished atop the earnings leaderboard six times from 1940 to 1958. His record of six Preakness Stakes titles is unlikely to be ever be matched anytime soon.
In 2020, Robby Albarado won for the second time in his career, with his first coming in 2007 while riding Curlin.
