Secretariat ran the fastest race in Preakness history in 1973, but it wasn't until 2012 that it was recognized as such.
The Maryland Racing Commission used new timing technology to determine Secretariat won the Preakness in 1:53, not 1:53.4. With the change, he owns the record for each of the three Triple Crown races. The list below only counts Preakness races run since 1925, when the distance changed to one and three-sixteenth miles, which it is today.
