The 92nd running of the Black-Eyed Susan Stakes is set to take place on Friday, a prelude to Saturday’s Preakness Stakes, and it features a full, 14-filly field. The field will be highlighted by a pair of 3-year-olds who finished second and fourth, respectively, at the Kentucky Oaks two weeks ago in Land Over Sea and Go Maggie Go.

Post time from Pimlico is set for 4:50 p.m. ET, and the action can be seen on TV starting from 3 p.m. ET on NBCSN as part of the day’s 14-race schedule. Streaming is available via NBC Sports Live Extra.
Land Over Sea (2-1 odds) and Go Maggie Go (5-2) will enter as two favorites for the mile-and-an-eighth contest, with each doing so on short rest after the Kentucky Oaks. Land Over Sea rallied from the middle of the pack at the Oaks for a late-charging, second-place finish. She won’t have to beat out Oaks winner Cathryn Sophia on Friday or Songbird, whom she has finished second to multiple times previously.
Go Maggie Go also made a good late run at the Oaks in Louisville to finish fourth, but only a neck behind second-place Land Over Sea. She has shown previously that racing on short rest is not a problem, as she broke her maiden in March and came back just over two weeks later to win at the Gulfstream Park Oaks in Florida. Go Maggie Go is the daughter of former Breeders Cup champion Ghostzapper, so she has the pedigree to go along with her performances.
Despite not registering a win yet, She’s A Warrior (6-1) comes in with good odds to challenge on Friday as well. She’s not long removed from a nice showing in the Santa Anita Oaks, where she was beaten by the aforementioned Songbird by four lengths in a third-place finish. Kinsley Kisses (6-1) joins She’s a Warrior as the only other horse in the field with odds smaller than 15-1.
The action will begin on Friday from Pimlico at 3 p.m. on NBCSN, and you can watch the accompanying live stream via NBC Sports Live Extra. The $250,000 Black-Eyed Susan Stakes will round out the two-hour broadcast, as the fillies will post just about 10 minutes before 5.
