May 15, 1948
On May 15, 1948, in command from the instant the doors of the starting gate popped open, the Calumet Farm's great 3-year-old colt Citation won as he pleased - or as Jockey Eddie Arcaro pleased - in the seventy-second edition of the $134, 870 Preakness Stakes at old Pimilico.
Citation was a 1 - to - 10 shot, the shortest priced favorite in Preakness history since the 1889 running.
