Preakness Stakes

A gleaming, circular gold medal for the Preakness Stakes, 3 inches in diameter, hanging from a black and gold striped ribbon. The medal features a raised, embossed image of a galloping thoroughbred horse and jockey in full racing stance. The horse's mane and tail flow dynamically. Around the edge, engraved text reads "Preakness Stakes Champion" with the current year. The reverse side displays the iconic Preakness logo: a jockey on a rearing horse. A delicate laurel wreath encircles the medal's rim, paying homage to Maryland's state flower. The medal catches the light, creating a soft golden glow against a dark burgundy velvet backdrop. Viewed at a slight angle to showcase both sides, with the ribbon draped elegantly. The composition includes a soft focus Black-Eyed Susan flower in the foreground, symbolizing the race's floral garland. Dramatic studio lighting emphasizes the medal's metallic sheen and intricate details.
