Stanford heads Charles Town Classic field

Stanford will look to defend his G2 Charles Town Classic title Saturday against a field that includes 2014 champ Imperative.

Saturday’s Federico Tesio Stakes at Laurel Park offers the winner a spot in the Preakness, and five runners are bidding for it.

At the ongoing ARCI conference, panelists are calling for more out-of-competition drug testing and more investment in research to combat cheating.

The Jockey Club has denied Stud Book privileges to four trainers, two based in the mid-Atlantic region.

With his win in the Arkansas Derby, Classic Empire surged to the top of the NTRA Top 3-year-old Poll, while Arrogate held the top spot overall.
