VIDEO: Looking ahead to the Maryland Million Classic
The Biz- September 19, 2022
The Racing Biz and Maryland Million team up this year to create a series of videos previewing the big day. In the first of them, John and Frank take a look at the Maryland Million Classic.
Virtually all of last year’s contenders are in training this year, so it looks like the October 22 Classic may be a reunion of sorts, perhaps reuniting champion Prendimi, runner-up Tappin Cat, and even 2020 champ Monday Morning Qb.

All that said, John has a focus on another runner who didn’t make much impact last year but looks to be a much better horse this time around: Ain’t Da Beer Cold, trained by Kenny Cox.
Here’s the skinny on that four-year-old Freedom Child gelding.
