In our weekly feature, Maryland Jockey Club analyst Gabby Gaudet flags a key longshot.
We sat down with two new members of racing’s Hall of Fame: King Leatherbury and Xtra Heat’s co-owner Ken Taylor. We turned the camera on and let ’em roll.
How Xtra Heat went from ignored to beloved to an Eclipse winner to a Hall of Famer is, says trainer John Salzman, Sr., “a good story from the ground up.”
The “Ultimate Girls’ Day Out” on Black-Eyed Susan day at Pimlico will feature music from the Gin Blossoms, among others.
The Maryland Racing Commission will review the medication policies it has put in place in the last 18 months as part of the national uniform medication program.
Announcer Larry Collmus and Baltimore-based writer John Scheinman will receive the Old Hilltop Award at next month’s Alibi Breakfast at Pimlico.
Washington Post photographer Jonathan Newton has won the Jerry Frutkoff Preakness Photography Award for his shot of California Chrome turning for home.
The key to trainings, says Jose Corrales, is “trying to find your horse.” It certainly worked for his Bodhisattva and two other Pimlico stakes winner Saturday.
A pair of Maryland legends — trainer King Leatherbury and fleet filly Xtra Heat — have been named to the national racing Hall of Fame.
Bodhisattva controlled today’s Federico Tesio Stakes from the early going and posted a clear win. Could the Preakness be next?
