By The Associated Press

BALTIMORE (AP) — Tickets go on sale next week for the 2017 Preakness Stakes in Baltimore.

The Maryland Jockey Club says sales start Monday at 10 a.m.

The 142nd Preakness Stakes — the second leg of the Triple Crown — will be run May 20 at Pimlico Race Course.

This year’s crowd set an attendance record of 135,256, despite a day of fog and rain. The drenched throng saw Kentucky Derby runner-up Exaggerator beat the derby winner, Nyquist.

Tickets also go on sale Monday for Black-Eyed Susan Day, which is the day before the Preakness.
