The 2024 Preakness Stakes was the 149th Preakness Stakes, a Grade I stakes race for three-year-old Thoroughbreds at a distance of 1+3⁄16 miles (9+1⁄2 furlongs; 1,911 metres). The race is one leg of the American Triple Crown and is held annually at Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore, Maryland. The Preakness Stakes is traditionally held on the third Saturday in May, two weeks after the Kentucky Derby. The 2024 edition was scheduled for May 18, Race 13, with a post time of 7:01 p.m. EDT and television coverage by NBC and Peacock from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. ET. The purse for the 2024 stakes was valued at $2 million. The race was won by Seize the Grey.
A field of 9 was drawn on May 13. Muth drew post 4 as the 8-5 morning line favorite. Mystik Dan drew post 5 as the 5-2 second choice, for an expected wet running of the Preakness. Two days after the draw, Pimlico officials announced that Muth had developed a 103 °F (39 °C) fever and would scratch from the race.

With rain falling throughout the day, the track was declared as muddy for the race, the first time since 1939 that the race was run in such conditions. Seize the Grey won the race after leading wire-to-wire, finishing 2+1⁄4 lengths ahead of Mystik Dan. Seize the Grey's victory was considered an upset victory, with the horse having the third-worst odds at post-time of the nine starters. The victory was the seventh Preakness victory for trainer D. Wayne Lukas.
