Preakness Stakes at Pimlico Race Course is known as the Middle Jewel of the Triple Crown, a series of horse races in the U.S. It's the middle because it's the second one, held in Baltimore on the third Saturday of May. It's a full-day event with music, food, drinks, and more.

"This year’s 149th Preakness Stakes at Pimlico Race Course was full of surprises. Although the rain came in spurts, it was the fashion that really poured in. The queer community put fun to fabric as they watched the day’s races unfold. I had the pleasure of capturing a few of my favorite looks of the day to include myself," photographer Tonya Caver said.
