1899 Preakness Stakes
The 1899 Preakness Stakes was the 24th running of the $1,000 added Preakness Stakes, a horse race for three-year-old Thoroughbreds run on May 30, 1899, at the Gravesend Race Track on Coney Island, New York. The mile and a sixteenth race was won by Half Time over runner-up Filigrane. The race was run on a track rated fast in a final time of 1:47 flat that equaled the Gravesend track record for the distance.[1] The 1899 Kentucky Derby was run on May 4 and the 1899 Belmont Stakes on May 25, five days before the Preakness.[2][3] For jockey Richard Clawson, the win aboard Half Time was his second in the 1899 Classics having won the Belmont aboard Jean Bereaud in which he had defeated Half Time.[4] The 1919 Preakness Stakes would mark the first time the race would be recognized as the second leg of a U.S. Triple Crown series.[5]
