Preakness Stakes

The twenty-fifth running of the Preakness Stakes took place on Tuesday, May 29, 1900 at Gravesend Race Track on Coney Island, New York. On that day Hindus went off as the longest shot on the board at odds of 15-1 in the field of ten stakes winning colts. In that race he broke well with a good start in fourth place under Canadian-born jockey Henry Spencer. Rounding the first turn Hindus dropped back to next to last in eighth place under a strong hold by Spencer. [5] As the race progressed, Hindus laid back in waiting down the entire back stretch and around the final turn. Near the top of the lane Hindus began a big rush and passed all rivals in the last one sixteenth of a mile. In the end Hindus prevailed at the wire by a short head over runner-up Sarmatian. Listed at 6-1 odds, Sarmatian outdistanced third-place finisher Ten Candles by three full lengths. [6] The final time for the one mile and one sixteenth race on dirt was 1:48 2/5 over a fast track. Hindus won almost 70% of the total purse of $2,500 netting $1,900. [7]
