Is this is the earliest that race has ever been run? Isn't usually Memorial Day weekend or the week before? This is before the Preakness

No, it used to be run on Preakness Day, but last year they moved it to the week before. I'm guessing because trainers didn't like only having three weeks before the Belmont.

It's only been run then just the last few years, ten years ago and back it was run on Memorial Day weekend.
