Fresh off two stakes wins at Penn National, jockey Frankie Dettori went to Monmouth Park to win the Jersey Derby aboard Twirling Point.
Frankie (Dettori) went to Hollywood (Casino at Penn National Race Course) and left with the money, winning both the G3 Penn Mile and Penn Oaks.
Balnikhov, winless in nine starts, rallied from last to win the G3 Dinner Party over the boggy going at Pimlico on the Preakness undercard.
Beyond the Breeders’ Cup racing, wagering, and glitz lies something more profound, says Jennifer Kelly: the connection between horses and humans.
