Jockey Matt McGowan’s comeback is coming along nicely — and, he says, bringing his career full circle.

Trainer Steve Asmussen will saddle two runners in the Preakness — and seven others in weekend stakes at Pimlico.

Starting Wednesday, a small army of cops and firefighters will trade their hats for those of drivers, assistants, and fix-it guys for the Preakness connections.

Among the topics discussed at Pimlico today: Todd’s goatee, Alex’s crabcake, and Jorge’s driving a donkey rather than a car…

While trainer Todd Pletcher and Always Dreaming weather the Preakness media crush, jockey Jorge Carreno and Conquest Mo Money are flying under the radar.

Stellar Wind’s victory in the G1 Apple Blossom moved her to the head of the Top Midlantic-bred class, while Irish War Cry is tops among three-year-olds.

Classic Empire, fourth in the Kentucky Derby, is poised to run a big one in the Preakness, assistant trainer Norm Casse said today.

A brilliant, ground-saving ride by jockey Don Miller played a major role in making Deputed Testamony in 1983 the most recent Maryland-bred Preakness winner.

What’ll it take for Gunnevera to turn the tables on Always Dreaming? “Action on the front end,” says Larry Kelly.

Venerable superstar Ben’s Cat is hunting his sixth win in the Jim McKay Turf Sprint this Friday at Pimlico.

Friday’s Black-Eyed Susan day card features big fields — the average stakes field size is over 11 — and competitive racing, including four graded events.
