Big changes are coming to horse racing, which may change how people see the Triple Crown.

Churchill Downs and the New York Racing Association recently announced a new six-race series with the Kentucky Derby, Belmont Stakes, and other races. This series will start in 2027 and have a big prize.

One of the Triple Crown races will change its schedule to get more people to attend.

A jockey won the 150th Preakness Stakes at Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore, Maryland, on May 17, 2025.

The 2027 Preakness Stakes will happen three weeks after the Kentucky Derby, not two weeks like before.

This means a Triple Crown race will be on a Sunday for the first time. The Preakness will be on May 23, 2027.

The Preakness Stakes is changing its schedule after 75 years of being two weeks after the Derby.

The CEO of the Maryland Jockey Club, Bill Knauf, said it's time to move the Preakness to a new date.

Knauf talked about the change, saying they thought about it for a long time and considered new training methods.

The goal is to get more horses that run in the Derby to also run in the Preakness. In the past, this was normal, but now it's rare.

Golden Tempo won the Belmont Stakes after skipping the Preakness.

Golden Tempo's trainer, Cherie DeVaux, thinks it's unfair to criticize the decision to skip the Preakness.

Golden Tempo won the Derby and then the Belmont Stakes.

With the new schedule, there will be a short time between the Preakness and the Belmont Stakes.

A new six-race series will start in 2027 with a $5 million prize.

The president of the NYRA said this series will showcase the best young horses and create new fans.

The Kentucky Derby had a big field of horses in 2025.
