Where to Watch the 2011 Preakness Stakes in NYC

Its time for the second, and almost always disrespected, jewel of the triple crown: The Preakness Stakes. It may not be the most prestigious horse race, but its definitely worth watching on a lazy Saturday afternoon, plus we at Where We Watch are always in favor of sporting events that have specific drinks associated with them (see: The Black-Eyed Susan).

Animal Kingdom came from relative obscurity (30-1 odds) to win the Kentucky Derby in commanding fashion. Can he make it two for two? Given that 8 out of the last 11 Derby winners have finished in the money at the Preakness Stakes, it seems pretty likely. Along the way, Dialed-In and Mucho Macho Man will probably give him a run for the money.

Will we see a Triple Crown threat this year? Head to one of these bars around 5pm and find out...
