In addition to the regular wagering menu, Pimlico will also offer three special wagers specifically for Preakness weekend.

The Black-Eyed Susan-Preakness double combines the featured races on both Friday and Saturday. The bet has a $1 minimum value and a takeout of 21%.

There will also be two special Pick 5 sequences that span races on both Black-Eyed Susan day and Preakness day. Those include an all-stakes Pick 5 and an all-dirt Pick 5. Both of these sequences have a low 12% takeout and a $0.50 minimum wager.

Each of these multi-day, multi-race wagers will be marked as its own card for the purposes of wagering online and on-track. The sequences for both the all-stakes Pick 5 and all-dirt Pick 5 will be announced after the cards are drawn.

The entire Black-Eyed Susan day card and Preakness day card will be broadcast on FanDuel TV and Hipica TV. Peacock will broadcast Black-Eyed Susan day coverage from 4:30–6 p.m. EDT as well. Peacock will broadcast Preakness coverage from 2–7:30 p.m. EDT, with the 2–4 p.m. EDT segment airing on CNBC and the 4–7:30 p.m. EDT part on the flagship NBC.
