Trainer Rodney Jenkins expects to run two horses — Shimmering Aspen and Top of Mind — in graded stakes Preakness weekend.
Top of Mind validated his big effort in the G3 Commonwealth Turf Cup with a sharp win in Laurel Park’s featured allowance today.
On Commonwealth Day Saturday at Laurel Park, plenty of big names came to town — but some local jockeys and trainers more than held their own.
Yesterday and Today highlights the best of yesterday’s mid-Atlantic racing and looks ahead to today’s action.
Count trainer Rodney Jenkins and rider Victor Carrasco among those who figure to appreciate the “excuse to stay home” this summer at Laurel Park.
All Hands and Top of Mind were both easy-as-can-be maiden winners. Both look to take the next step in tomorrow’s Federico Tesio at Pimlico.
The longest shot on the board won three races in Laurel Park’s Jackpot Pick 5, and no one hit all five, meaning a $102,000 carryover into closing day.
