Best Answer

Because the winner of the race gets a blanket of roses, which is very well known and connected with the race. The winner of the Preakness gets a blanket of black-eyed susans (actually yellow daisies with their centers dyed brown, as black-eyed susans are not in season at that point in the year) and the winner of the Belmont gets a blanket of white carnations.
