Maryland Racing Today: Feb. 26, 2026
Maryland Racing Today, Powered by The Racing Biz returns to talk Maryland racing, look back at the news of the last week, and look ahead to racing this weekend at Laurel Park. This week we visit with former Washington Post racing reporter and Eclipse Award winner Vinnie Perrone to talk about the life and legacy of Hall of Famer King T. Leatherbury, who passed away last week at age 92. Then Maryland Jockey Club analyst Mackenzie Pfeiffer and The Racing Biz handicapper John Piassek stop by to discuss the racing news from last week -- how good is Point Dume right now?!? -- and to handicap some of the weekend races. Find Maryland Racing Today wherever you get your podcasts!
Maryland Racing Today: Feb. 19, 2026
It's our maiden voyage on Maryland Racing Today, Powered by The Racing Biz, and cohosts Mackenzie Pfeiffer and Frank Vespe have a great time talking Maryland racing, looking back at the news of the last week, and visiting with guests. Guests on this week's Maryland Racing Today include Kenny Taylor, who co-owned Hall of Famer Xtra Heat -- whose namesake stake was run last week and who is probably the best winner of the Barbara Fritchie Stakes, which takes place Saturday -- and David Bushey, whose Bush Racing Stable owns General George contender Point Dume. We learn the answers to some intriguing questions like: where did Xtra Heat's silks come from anyway (not where we were expecting)? How does David root for his horses? And more importantly, an update on David's father, co-owner Bryan Bushey, who is taking courage from his horse as he battles cancer.
