BALTIMORE, Md. - The big race at Pimlico is just 24 hours away but today the track was packed for Black-Eyed Susan Day.

It's a day all about the ladies.

Black-Eyed Susan Day means its race day for the Fillies and some of the day's races featured the top female jockeys.

Pimlico partnered with the Susan G. Komen Foundation to raise awareness and funds to fight breast cancer.

Last year's People's Pink party raised $100,000 dollars for the organization.
