Millions of taxpayer dollars to prop up this ruthless industry masquerading as a sport is a crime against horses. I LOVE HORSES! Protest the Preakness from 1 to 3:30 p.m. at Pimlico this Saturday. — Ronda Cooperstein

FIRST LADY DON MOORE AND RECORD PRODUCER D-NICE SAT DOWN WITH OUR MEGAN RIVERS TO TALK ABOUT WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT. THE INAUGURAL PREAKNESS FESTIVAL IS COMING TO BALTIMORE. FIRST LADY DON MOORE, SO THANKFUL TO HAVE YOU HERE TODAY.

This year's Preakness Weeks started on April 28th, and each day of the week since, the Maryland Jockey Club put the spotlight on one local business.

Get ready for the 150th Preakness Stakes. Plus, enjoy a 24-hour Edgar Allan Poe readathon, a short play festival, and more this weekend.

Through 150 years, the race has produced some zany antics, memorable moments and some devastating losses. Here are 10 standout mileposts in Preakness Day history.

In 2011, jockey Raul Mena broke 24 bones and was in a coma for five weeks after getting thrown from a horse during a race in his native Chile.
