After a two-year hiatus owing to the COVID-19 pandemic, America Best Racing's Pre-Preakness Party will be held Wednesday, May 18, at the Mt. Washington Tavern in Baltimore, with the proceeds of all tickets sold to benefit the Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance. A silent auction will be held which will benefit the TAA and the Maryland-based Beyond The Wire Thoroughbred aftercare organization.

“We're thrilled to again be a beneficiary of this party, along with our friends at Beyond the Wire, and we're grateful for the continued support from America's Best Racing,” TAA Operations Consultant Stacie Clark Rogers said. “We can't wait to kick off a great week of racing with this can't-miss event.”

Tickets are now on sale for $25 in advance of the event ($35 on site). Admission includes one drink, a light buffet of bar snacks and appetizers and entry into a drawing for a door prize of two tickets to the May 21 GI Preakness S. at Pimlico. The silent auction will feature items from ABR partners Christine A. Moore Millinery and Old Smoke Clothing Co., in addition to rare racing memorabilia and autographed collectibles.

“We are proud to bring back the Pre-Preakness festivities again this year and owe a lot of thanks to event supporters and sponsors who've enabled us to do it,” said Dan Tordjman, America's Best Racing's manager of Partnerships and Sponsorships. “ABR remains committed to putting the horse first by shining a spotlight on exceptional foundations like the Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance and Beyond the Wire that do so much in the name of Thoroughbred aftercare.”
