Five Minute Histories: The Preakness

The 148th Preakness is this weekend! For today’s Five Minute Histories video, join us to take a look back at its long history-did you know that for several years the race was held in New York? And of course we will take a look at the Preakness’s fabulous (and expensive) trophy, the Woodlawn Vase. Thanks for watching and see you next week!
This is our series called "Five Minute Histories." We record short videos about different historic places all over Baltimore and post them on our Facebook page, UA-cam channel, and website. For more information or to become a member of Baltimore Heritage, check out: baltimoreheritage.org/support/

Wow! I learned something new with this episode! I never knew the Trophy wasn't kept by the Winner! Incredible fact! Thanks for sharing that.

Love this!

Very neat! I feel like a cool local mystery book could be written about the Woodlawn vase going missing 🔎

Thanks for watching!

Most interesting! (But Belmont and Saratoga are two different places 🤓)

Thanks for the correction!

I believe Secretariat won by 31 lengths.

If that trophy was made by Tiffany's I wouldn't be surprised if it's worth more?

How many horses died at Pimlico this year? We really need to stop this barbaric abuse of animals.
